Bulldogs Win Season Opener 4-2 over Adelphi
SMITHFIELD, R.I. - The Bryant women's soccer team started its season the right way, defeating Adelphi University 4-2 Sunday afternoon at Bulldog Stadium.
Kristin Fisher (Plymouth, MA) and Holly Tyser (Somers, CT) each tallied a goal and an assist, while freshman Megan Vayo (Hanson, MA) notched her first collegiate goal.
Junior midfielder Amy Orzechowski (Milford, CT) scored the game's first goal in the 15th minute, as she took a cross from Tyser and headed it past Panther goaltender Christine Conway. Orzechowski's goal came minutes after Tricia Spada (Dedham, MA) rang a penalty-kick off the post.

After Caitlin Morrison evened the score at one, Vayo put the Bulldogs ahead to stay in the 43rd minute as she put home a pass from Daisy Martinez (Eliot, ME).
Fisher made it 3-1 in the 76th minute, one-timing a beautiful pass from Diane Pascale (Plymouth, MA).
Morrison came right back cutting the lead to one again as she beat Bryant goaltender Jessica Neales (Swansea, MA) on a booming shot from just outside the box.
Tyser fired back seven minutes (87th minute) later, converting a 2-on-1 with Fisher inside the box and put the game away for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs were all over the offensive zone, as Conway made 10 saves. Bryant also had 11 corner kicks, while Adelphi had none.
Dating back to last season, Bryant has won six straight home matches and has not lost in Smithfield since Sept. 15, 2006.
Bryant (1-0) will visit Holy Family Tuesday at 3 p.m. before taking part in the Assumption Nike Kick-Off Classic next weekend.
