Soccer Silenced by Wellesley, 4-0
WELLESLEY, Mass. (Oct 3, 2009) – First year midfielder Chelsea-Ann Patry found the net twice, as the Wellesley College women’s soccer team secured a 4-0 triumph over New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) foe Mount Holyoke College this afternoon.
Both teams went scoreless until the 35:13 mark, when sophomore midfielder Amanda Young scored what proved to be the match winner off an assist from first year midfielder Jennifer Marble.
The Blue pulled away with three second half tallies. Patry recorded her first just 1:43 into the frame to put her team in front 2-0. She then made the score 3-0 in the 73rd minute, when she capitalized on a feed by Marble. First year midfielder Megan Turichi knocked in a penalty shot to close out the scoring in the 84th minute.
Wellesley (3-4-2, 1-0-1 NEWMAC) outshot the Lyons 19-9 and finished with a 2-1 edge in penalty corner opportunities. Goalkeepers Katie Martore and Ingibjörg Magnúsdóttir made five saves apiece for the respective squads.
Mount Holyoke (1-8-0, 0-2-0 NEWMAC) will return to action on Tuesday, when it hosts local rival Smith College at 4:30 p.m.
