Box Score TROY, N.Y. - Senior Gianna Abballe's goal just under five minutes into the second half broke a scoreless tie and led the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute women's soccer team to a 3-0 victory over Bard on Saturday afternoon.

Abballe (Old Tappan, NJ) created a turnover and ran toward goal alone, beating Bard keeper Kelsey O'Brien low to the left side in the 50th minute. About 10 minutes later, Abballe struck again, this time on a header off a long cross from Brooke Van Baush (Loganville, GA).

The final goal came from Alex Shaw (Jamison, PA) in the 88th minute, off a cross from freshman Ali Zumpetta (Mount Laurel, NJ). All three goal scorers for RPI are seniors, and it was Senior Day at RPI.

O'Brien made three saves for Bard, 4-8-1, 0-5 Liberty League.
