NEW LONDON, Conn. - The Mitchell College women's soccer team dropped a 4-0 decision to Connecticut College on Thursday afternoon at Silfen Field.
Conn opened the scoring in the 13th minute as Mary Parse found the back of the net for her first score of the season. The Camels controlled possession for most of the first half, and leading scorer Mya Johnson added to the lead in the 22nd minute on a penalty kick that found its way past Mitchell goalkeeper Gemma Landry.
Right before halftime, Sarah Moore put the Camels up by three as she scored her first goal of the season, assisted by Parse. The Camels took their 3-0 lead into intermission along with a 13-0 edge in the shots category.
The scoring in the second half was much quieter, with Landry making three impressive saves for the Mariners. It wasn't until the 85th minute that Rylie Griffith took a rebound and deposited a shot to make it a 4-0 game. Lauren Anastos, who took the initial shot which was saved from point-blank range, was credited with an assist on the play.
Ella Kahrl earned the win in her first collegiate start at goalkeeper for the Camels despite not having any save opportunities. Landry made eight saves in defeat.
Mitchell (3-6-1 overall) will next play at Northern Vermnt-Lyndon on Wednesday, October 13 at 3 p.m.
