Women's Soccer Closes Out Regular Season with Win at Becker
LEICESTER, Mass. - The Mitchell College women's soccer team closed out the regular season with a 1-0 victory at Becker College on Saturday afternoon.
Junior Nikki Hoxie scored the game's only goal in the 11th minute as the Mariners (8-7-1 overall, 6-1-1 NECC) clinched second place in the conference standings. Mitchell will be the second seed in next week's NECC Championship and will receive a bye for the first round. The Mariners will host a semifinals game against either Elms College or Becker College on Thursday, November 4 at 2 p.m.
Hoxie netted her team-leading 11th goal of the season just 10:44 into the contest off a feed from senior Paige Ehnot. The Mariners made the margin stand for the rest of the game, allowing only three shots to the host Hawks. Freshman goalkeeper Kaylee Woodford made two saves to preserve the shutout.
