The Lasell University woman's soccer team defeated the Albertus Magnus Falcons 3-0 Wednesday afternoon at Taylor Field. With the win, the team improves to 13-5-1 and advances to the GNAC Championship.
The Lasers got on the board in the 20th minute when Bobbi O'Guin (Newton, MA) dribbled her way down the left flank and worked her way into the box. She dribbled near post and pasted the ball to a streaking Serena Speight (Biddeford, ME) who then shot the ball into the net to give the Lasers a 1-0 lead.
Three minutes later Bobbi O'Guin crossed the ball towards Michelina D'Agostino (Longmeadow, MA). D'Agostino then headed the ball towards the net but the Falcons goalie swatted it away. The ball then fell to Sarah Lynch (Warwick, RI), who then took a dribble, and shot it into the net to increase the Laser lead. The score going into the half was 2-0 in favor of Lasell.
In the 70th minute, Julia Vaillancourt (Danvers, MA) crossed the ball into the box towards Serena Speight. Speight, one-timed the ball towards the far side of the net to make it 3-0 Lasers for the final score.
