Clark 1, WPI 0
Box Score
Worcester, MA --- Senior Liz Adamcik
(Florence, MA) scored with less than two minutes remaining in the
match to help Clark defeat host WPI 1-0 in NEWMAC women's soccer
action on Tuesday afternoon. With the win, the Cougars improve to
6-5-2 (3-2 NEWMAC) while the Engineers slip to 6-7 (2-3 NEWMAC).v
Adamcik's fourth goal of the season was scored with just 1:31
left to play when she took a feed from Jess Mirkin
(Wellesley, MA) and buried a shot from just inside the 18-yard box.
Both teams played tenacious defense throughout the
contest. On the afternoon, the Cougars enjoyed an advantage
in both shots (15-4) and corner kicks (8-0).
The best chance to score for the Crimson and Gray came on a
breakaway in the 77th minute when freshman Katie
Partridge (Worcester, MA) knocked a pass to classmate
Kristen Garza (Kingston, MA), but her shot went
wide to the right of the net.
WPI senior goalkeeper Nicole DeCampo (Stoneham,
MA) was spectacular in net as she was called upon to make eight
saves while her Clark counterpart Joanna Clark
(Windham, ME) made one stop on the day.
Both teams will return to the field with NEWMAC matches at 1pm
on Saturday. The Engineers will start a brief two-game road
trip with a match versus MIT while Clark entertains nationally
ranked Wheaton.
