Big Offensive Day Sends Women's Soccer Past Nichols, 6-1
DUDLEY, Mass. — The Endicott women's soccer team rolled past Nichols, 6-1, in Saturday evening's Conference of New England (CNE) road matchup at Nichols Soccer Field.
Hannah Lord (Bedford, N.H.) secured her first career brace in the matchup. She put the Gulls up 1-0 with a blast from 20-plus yards out in the 20th minute, and then added an insurance goal off of a corner kick that she drilled into the far side netting in the 58th. She also picked up an assist to register a five-point outing.
Rhiann Dugan (West Boylston, Mass.) headed in her first career goal in the 55th. She later picked up an assist as well, as Gabrielle Klindtworth (Guilderland, N.Y.) followed up her saved header attempt with another Gulls tally in the 68th minute.
Eliza Walker (Marshfield, Mass.) and Julia Daly (Wethersfield, Conn.) rounded out the scoring, as they each chipped in second-half header goals for the Blue and Green.
Samantha MacCormack (Danvers, Mass.) made her sixth start of the season in net, and improved to 4-3-0 with a save on the day. Olivia Peters (Bridgewater, N.J.) replaced her in the 70th minute and remained in net for the final 20 minutes of the contest.
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE
