Villanova’s scoring draught had reached 300 minutes to start the season when head coach Chris McLain went to his bench and sent grad student Sam Rosette into a home match against Saint Joseph’s in the rain Sunday afternoon.
Minutes later, Rosette got in behind the Hawks defense thanks to a lovely line-splitting pass from Makayla Stadler and put the finishing touches on a goal 15 months in the making. The Wildcats last scored on November 3, 2019 in a 1-0 win over DePaul.

Two games into her college career, rookie Anna Salvucci already has a lot to celebrate.
The Glen Mills, Pa. native who starred at Episcopal Academy and for Penn Fusion Academy in high school, volleyed home a long cross from Lauren Currey (Harrisburg, Pa.) in the 98th minute to seal a 1-0 win for the Dragons over Villanova on Thursday.
The goal was the ninth shot Drexel’s attack registered on goal for the day and spoiled a standout performance for Wildcats goalkeeper Megan McClay, who finished with 8 saves.
