Women's Soccer Shut Out at Western New England, 3-0

SPRINGFIELD, Mass.--Sophomore forward Tayler Mazurski scored a goal and assisted on another to help lead Western New England to a dominating 3-0 shutout over visiting Curry College in Commonwealth Coast Conference women's soccer action at Suprenant Field on Saturday, punctuating Senior Day festivities for the Golden Bears. Western New England ups its record to 8-9-1 overall and 2-6 in the league while clinching a spot in the CCC Tournament. The Colonels, meanwhile, are eliminated from the postseason after falling to 6-10-2 and 1-7.

Freshman Emma Norden took a feed from Mazurski to stake Western New England to a 1-0 lead only 2 minutes and 18 seconds after the opening kickoff.

After that goal stood up until halftime, the Golden Bears added some insurance tallies off the feet of Mazurski and freshman Chelsea Kuzio in the 63rd and 73rd minutes, respectively.

Keeper Briana Kubik, still another freshman, made a lone save to record her fourth career shutout.  Senior netminder Samantha Hardy (Pepperell, Mass.) made five stops in the loss. 

Western New England had a commanding lead in shots at 19 to 3, including an 8-0 margin in the first half.

The Golden Bears will host conference opponent Gordon College on October 24 in a 3:30 game start.  The Colonels will also host a CCC opponent, Roger Williams on October 24 at 7:00 p.m. (Game Recap Courtesy of Western New England Sports Information).
