LASELL TAKES DOWN RIVIER IN SHUTOUT

The Lasell Lasers women's soccer team produced another GNAC win Wednesday on Taylor Field against the Rivier College Raiders.  The 2-0 win today brings the Lasers to 6-3-2 overall and 5-2-2 in conference play.

The Lasers controlled the tempo of the contest from the start, with good offensive looks and impressive defense that held the Raiders without a shot attempt in the first half.  Kaitlyn Fields (Stoneham, MA) and Alaina Mitrano (Medford, MA) secured the defense, while Jordynn Frollo (Uxbridge, MA) patrolled both ends of the field producing offensively and defensively for Lasell.

The Lasers offense came up with 11 shot attempts in the first half alone, connecting on one.  Liz McGeoy (Doylestown, PA) was the first to score in the 24th minute of the game.   Frollo sent a beautiful pass to the middle, finding McGeoy wide open to give the Lasers a 1-0 lead. 

The Raiders first scoring opportunity came midway through the second period when Michaela Kopp (Nashua, NH) shot just shy of the top of the net.  Rivier had a second opportunity to tie up the game shortly after when Emily Ingram (Litchfield, NH) took a close shot on the Lasers net, which was deflected and cleared by Lasell's keeper Jamie Remmers (West Islip, NY).

Lasell put the game away at 76:47, when Frollo sent a through ball to Ashley Lambert (Salem, MA) who shot from the top of the box and scored the Lasers final goal.  Remmers collected 4 saves in net, and acquired another shut out.

The Lasers host Suffolk University on Saturday, October 18th at 12:00 p.m. on Taylor Field.  Lasell women's soccer will be recognizing their two senior athletes Remmers and Ashlinn O'Brien (Ware, MA).
