Hampstead, NH, 09/06/05 - The Lady Phantoms' striker Meotis Erikson has

pulled a fine performance in the 5:0 win against the South Jersey Banshees
last Saturday. The Lady Phantoms powerhouse scored a hat-trick and assisted
for the other two goals, netted by Amanda Wiggins. The win was first for
the Lady Phantoms in the season. The team however has played the least

the Bowditch Stadium in Framingham, Ma. The Renegades are two places above

First win for Lady Phantoms
Hampstead, NH, 06/06/05 - The NH Lady Phantoms picked their first win
of the season after 5:0 victory over South Jersey Banshees in the USL-W
league. Meotis Erikson scored a hat-trick for the winners, Amanda Wiggins
added another two goals for the final score.
The home side decided the game for six minutes midway the first half.
Erikson scored two goals in the 24th and the 28th minutes, coming from
assists from Elizabeth Allen and Lindsay Parks. Then Erikson set up Amanda
Wiggins for 3:0 in the 30th minute. The Phantoms kept possession of the
ball in the second half and achieved two more goals - Erikson made it
4:0 in the first minute of the second half (assist from Amber Radzevich)
and made another assist for Wiggins to make it 5:0 in the 70th minute.
The Lady Phantoms powerhouse Meotis Erikson, who scored a hat-trick and
made two assists, had an excellent game and was unstoppable for the Banshees'
defenders. Amanda Wiggins managed not only to find the net twice, but
had a very positive influence in the middle of the field and run back
to help even our defense.
The Lady Phantoms come back to action on Tuesday June 21st when they entertain
the Boston Renegades at Dr George J. Larkin Field on the Campus of SNHU,
kick-off is at 5 pm. The local team is a place from the bottom in the
table but has games in hand compared to the teams above. If they win maximum
points from these games the Lady Phantoms can get even with the 2nd in
the table Western Mass Pioneers.
