Women’s Soccer Marched Toward Victory Against Norwich University

Northfield, VT- The New England College women's soccer team earned themselves another Great Northeast Athletic Conference win on the season against the Cadets of Norwich University, 2-1 from Sabine Field. 

THE BASICS 

Score: New England College 2, Norwich University 1 
Records: Pilgrims 2-8-1, 2-7-0 GNAC | 2-6-2, 1-5-2 GNAC 

HOW IT HAPPENDED  

  • The Pilgrims wasted no time getting situated early on as it only took 2:54 to tack one onto the scoreboard to earn the lead with the goal scored by graduate defender Reese Hultgren (Charlton, Mass.) with the assist by freshman forward Ashleigh Carolus (Cape Town, South Africa). 
  • Not too long after the Cadets at 30:47 found a way to get one into the back of the net to tie things up thanks to sophomore midfielder Bella Roy (Weare, N.H.) from junior midfielder Antonia Pellon (Pownal, Vt.) and Samantha Penacho (New Bedford, Mass.). From there on things were at a standstill going into the half. 
  • NEC picked up right where they left off by scoring a rapid-fire goal in just 38 seconds of the start of the second half credited to sophomore midfielder Mia Loewenberg (Milford, Conn.) having the momentum shifted back into their favor. 
  • The defense of the Pilgrims stood tall throughout the entirety of the second half, not allowing any goals that in the end bestowed them conference victory on the evening. 

INSIDE THE NUMBERS 

  • Sophomore goalkeeper Stephanie Bronowicki (Corona, Calif.) gathered four saves on the evening from the pitch. 
  • Norwich junior goalie Rebecca Karis (Fayetteville, N.C.) had four saves in the loss.
  • The NEC goals were scored by Hultgren and Loewenberg while Carolus had the assist. 
  • Norwich's lone goal came from Roy that was assisted by Pellon and Penacho.
