MILTON, Mass. – The Curry College women's soccer team defeated Suffolk University, 4-0, on Wednesday afternoon at the Walter M. Katz Field. With the win the Colonels improve to 11-3 overall. The Rams fell to 3-13 overall.
Curry controlled the first half outshooting Suffolk 12-3. The Colonel's tallied three scores over an 11 minute span. Kaitlyn Lima (New Bedford, Mass.) got her team on the board at the 20:39 minute mark after scoring her first of two in the match. Lima maneuvered through a Ram's defender and one-timed the ball over the head of Suffolk's goaltender Kirstin Weiker (Durham, N.H.). Lima netted her second after teammate Amanda Crisfulla (Raynham, Mass.) sent her a through ball for the assist. Just under three minutes later Curry's Taylor Evans (Middleton, Mass.) received a pass from Mary Blythe (Montpelier, Vt.) and struck the ball into the back of the net. Colonel's goalkeeper Morgan Stott (Dartmouth, Mass.) saw just one shot on net.
Shots in the second half were even at seven apiece but the Rams were unable to get on the board. Christina Chiofalo (Smithtown, N.Y.) replaced Stott in net and stopped all three of Suffolk's shots on goal to keep them scoreless. Chiofalo assisted on Curry's final tally on the day. After a save she punted the ball to Samantha McGrath (Carver, Mass.) who one-timed it past the glove of Weiker. The Colonels held off the Rams for the 4-0 shutout and their 11th win on the season.
