Anna Johnson's goal in the 31st minute lifted the Connecticut Passion past Jersey Sky Blue 1-0 in a rain-delayed W-League contest at Drew University's Ranger Stadium on Saturday.
Goalkeeper Nikki Weiss preserved the shutout on three saves for Connecticut in a game that was delayed 30 minutes at the start because of lightning and was played in a steady rain practically all the way through.
The loss drops Jersey Sky Blue to 6-3-1 and will probably knock them out of a second place tie with the Long Island Rough Riders in the Eastern Conference of the W-League. The Connecticut Passion improved to 5-2-2 and avenged a 3-1 loss to Jersey Sky Blue on May 17.
