WOMEN'S SOCCER EDGED BY JOHNSON STATE, 1-0
CHICOPEE, MA, Oct. 6, 2007 - Elms College junior goalkeeper Shannon Donnelly (Florence, MA) blocked two shots, but Johnson State defender Jenah Bugbee (Belvidere, VT) scored an early goal that would stand as the game winner for a 1-0 victory in Saturday afternoon's North Atlantic Conference (NAC) women's soccer game at Leary Field.
