Women’s Soccer Blanks Daniel Webster, 3-0
CHICOPPE, MA- Elms College junior Alison
Couture (Chicopee, MA) netted two heads up goals to help
the Blazers defeat Daniel Webster 3-0 in a New England Collegiate
Conference (NECC) game at Leary Field Saturday afternoon.
With the win Elms climbs to 4-6 overall and a 2-1 conference
record, while the Eagles' loss drops them to 3-4 on the season and
1-2 in NECC play.
Elms made quick work of the Eagle defense when junior
Sarah Donais (Granby, MA) sent one to the back of
the net from a beautiful Kelsey Battige (Monson,
MA) cross-field pass at the 13:44 mark, one of
Battige’s many good looks across field. Elms used great ball
control in the first half to set the tempo.
Couture got into the action scoring her first off a blocked
Krystyna Gagne (Methuen, MA) shot and headed the
deflection into the net for the score to take a 2-0 advantage.
Couture again took advantage of Daniel Webster goalie Amy
Waller (Berlin, MA) by cleaning up a Battige shot that was
deflected, but not covered, for her second goal of the game giving
the Blazers a 3-0 cushion late in the game.
Waller recorded 13 saves on a day when the Blazer offense launched
30 shots, 17 on goal.
Blazer senior Vanessa Pare (Belchertown, MA) fire
six shots, while freshman Nicole Wynne (Hanson,
MA) and senior Serina Percoski (Westfield,
MA) each tallied four. Two other Blazers recorded
three.
Elms returns to action Tuesday, Oct. 6 when they travel to
Framingham State in Framingham, MA. The game is set to kick-off at
3:30 p.m.
