Women's Soccer Rolls Past Mitchell

NEW LONDON, Conn. – The Elms College women's soccer team cruised to a 7-0 victory over host Mitchell College in a New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) match at Alumni Field Saturday afternoon.

Brie Voight (Springfield, Mass./Springfield Central) finished with two goals and an assist while Angelina Estrada (Springfield, Mass./Springfield Central) added a pair of scores to propel the Blazers (10-2-1 overall) to a 4-0-0 mark in league play. Haley Richard (Monson, Mass./Monson) also tacked on a goal and an assist while Alizaya Clark (Springfield, Mass./SABIS International Charter) and Antriese Suarez (Amherst, Mass./Amherst)each contributed tallies.

Estrada opened the scoring just 1:08 into the contest with an unassisted effort. Later in the stanza, Elms added a pair of goals that came 52 seconds apart. Richard netted the first off a cross by Jackie Soucia (Belchertown, Mass./Belchertown) while Clark tacked on the second on a feed by Richard.

The Blazers led 3-0 at the break but doubled the margin in the opening five minutes of the second half. Voight factored into all three goals, scoring the first in the 46^th minute on a cross by Soucia and the third in the 50^th. Sandwiched between the two goals was a marker by Estrada, who finished off a cross from Voight with a chip over the keeper.

Suarez capped the scoring in the 87^th minute with a goal off a rebound. The goal was the first of her collegiate career.

Elms goalkeeper Rebecca Molin (West Hartford, Conn./Northwest Catholic) made only one save to record her ninth shutout of the season. Mitchell keeper Jordan Lohneiss (West Hartford, Conn./Conard) turned away 17 shots.

Elms (10-2-1, 4-0 NECC) returns to action at Newbury College on Wednesday at 6 p.m. Mitchell (1-9-0 overall, 1-3-0 NECC) will next play at Southern Vermont College on Wednesday at 3 p.m.
