Worcester, MA --- Clark got goals from senior
Lauren King (Piscataway, N.J.) and sophomore
Rachel Minsky (Bronx, N.Y.) en route to their
third straight win - a 2-0 victory over cross-town rival WPI in
NEWMAC women's soccer action on Saturday afternoon.
The win improves the Cougars to 6-4 overall, while the Engineers
slip to 4-7.
King put the hosts on the board first when she headed home her
first goal of the season off of a corner kick by senior
Charlotte Bowman (Peterborough, NH) in the 36th
minute. The assist for Bowman is her fourth helper in the last
three games.
WPI, meanwhile, had their best scoring chance of the match go by
in the waning minutes of the first half when sophomore
Suzanne Najem (Derry, NH) fired a shot from just
outside the box that sailed high over the crossbar. Junior
Kristen Garza (Kingston, MA) registered WPI's
other shot on the day
Clark tacked on an insurance tally midway through the second
half when sophomore Molly Meehan (Scotch Plains,
NJ) sent a pass across the box that Minsky pushed past WPI
netminder Ally Stoyle (Pembroke, MA) for her first
collegiate goal.
Clark held a sizable advantage in shots (13-2) and a 7-2 edge in
corner kicks.
Stoyle turned away four shots between the pipes for the
Engineers, while Cougar keeper Joanna Clark
(Windham, ME) didn't need to make any stops to record her 15th
career shutout.
Both teams return to action on Tuesday when the Cougars visit
Springfield and WPI hosts Wheaton.
