NEWTON, MA— Five Laser women's soccer players scored unassisted goals in a 5-0 non-conference shutout of the Lyndon State Hornets on Wednesday night at Taylor Field.  Junior Elizabeth Stickley (Mashpee, MA) and sophomore Ashley Parrelli (Marshfield, MA) split time in the net for the Lasers earning the shared shutout as Lasell improved their overall record to 2-1.

Forty-five seconds into the second period, Jordynn Frollo (Uxbridge, MA) received the ball off a throw-in and dribbled through the Hornet's back field to take a shot at point-blank range.  Lasell then took a 3-0 advantage when Reegan Brackett (Scarborough, ME) took a corner kick which curved into the Hornets net to score, at 48:26.

In the 62^nd minute, sophomore full back Emily Machado (Marshfield, MA) took a close range shot off a rebounded shot to add to the Lasers edge, and Jamie Harris (Lynnfield, MA) rounded out the scoring for Lasell, at 64:13.
