PLEASANTVILLE, N.Y. – Junior Emma Sinanan (Toms River, NJ/Toms River East) put herself in exactly the right place at the exactly the right time to head in the game-winning goal in the 80th minute of the Pace University women's soccer team's 2-1 victory over Northeast-10 Conference foe College of Saint Rose Wednesday evening at Pace Stadium.
 
KENNY HITS SINANAN TO SET UP GAME-WINNER
- Senior Ashley Kenny (Chester, NY/Washingtonville) was instructed to "throw big" on a throw-in deep on the offensive end of the field.

- The game-winning goal was Sinanan's first score of the season
 
HOW WE GOT THERE
- Junior Drew Ribadeneyra (Maybrook, NY/Valley Central) lined up for a free kick from just beyond the box in the eighth minute of the game.
