Women’s Soccer Falters to Elms on Senior Day

HENNIKER, N.H. – The New England College women's soccer team lost 3-1 to visiting Elms College in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) action on Saturday afternoon at Don Melander Field in Henniker, New Hampshire.                                                        

THE BASICS
Score:                  Elms 3, New England College 1
Records:              Pilgrims 0-10-1, 0-7-1 GNAC | Blazers 7-5, 6-2 GNAC

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • An Elms' corner kick just two minutes into the game led to a Blazers' goal from graduate midfielder Hannah Kolodziey (East Longmeadow, Mass.) with an assist to senior forward Kelly Malheiro (Centereach, N.Y.) as the visitors went up 1-0. The 'Grims would find the equalizer in the 13th minute off a corner kick of their own when a ball launched by NEC freshman defender Julianna Barrett (Orange, Conn.) was redirected by freshman midfielder Madison Bowman (Coventry, Vt.) and blasted into the net by freshman midfielder Michelina Follis (Saugus, Mass.) for her second career goal, tying the game up at one apiece.
  • The Blazers would regain the lead with exactly six minutes left in the first half when Elms graduate forward Kellie Smith (Marshfield, Mass.) beat two defenders for possession and shot the ball true for her second goal of the season as the visitors went into halftime leading 2-1.
  • With 18:28 left in the game, the Blazers picked up an insurance goal when Malheiro tracked down a putback off a shot from Elms junior forward Jamie McDonough (Dedham, Mass.) saved by the NEC keeper and finished as the visitors went ahead 3-1. That would hold up for the final.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
  • NEC junior goalkeeper Hollie Bomba (Seymour, Conn.) put in a valiant effort in net for the Pilgrims, tallying 15 saves on the day.
  • Elms graduate goalkeeper Hailey Magierowski (Brimfield, Mass.) finished with six stops for the Blazers.
  • Total shots were 38-18 in favor of the Blazers.
  • Elms sophomore forward Emily Basua (Oxnard, Calif.) led the Blazers with 11 shots on the day.
SENIOR DAY
  • Prior to the game, the New England College women's soccer program and the NEC athletics department recognized this year's senior class as part of senior day. Defenders Silvana Scuria (Center Moriches, N.Y.), Brynn Murphy (Unity, N.H.), Mackenzie Daugherty (Troutdale, Ore.), Darian Taylor (Hudson, N.H.) and forward Shelby McBain (Indianhead, Md.) were honored by coaches, teammates, family members and fans for all of their accomplishments at NEC both on and off the field. Although their time with the program may be coming to an end, they will forever be a part of the 'Grims family.
UP NEXT
  • NEC is back on the field on Wednesday when they host Simmons University in a 4:00 p.m. game.
  • Elms plays their next game at home against Albertus Magnus College on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.
