Lasers Shoot Past Women’s Soccer

NEWTON, Mass. – The Mitchell College women's soccer team fell by a final score of 9-1 on the road to Lasell University in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) play Saturday at Taylor Field.

Senior striker Cassandra Roman (New London, Conn.) scored Mitchell's lone goal in the 68th minute, finishing one of the Mariners' three shots on target. The goal gives Roman eight on the season, ranking her within the top 10 in the conference in goals scored. Sophomore Chloe Jennings (New London, Conn.) logged the other shot on goal for the Mariners in the loss.

Sophomore Ronnie Keays (Salem, N.H.) came just one save shy of matching her career high, turning away 26 shots against a relentless Lasell attack that posted 63 total shots, including 35 on goal, and earned 14 corner kicks.

Lasell was led by Ayla Hathaway with three goals and one assist, while Ava Champagne added two goals. The Lasers scored five times in the first half and four more in the second. Mitchell was outshot 63-3 and held without a corner.

The Mariners (2-10, 0-10 GNAC) will return home for a GNAC match against the University of Saint Joseph (Conn.) on Wednesday, October 22, at 3:00 p.m.
