Box Score NEWTON, MA - Jennifer Keaney
'13 (Scituate, MA) scored a pair of first-half goals and
Katherine Chambers '13 (Hampden,
ME) added a goal in the 65th minute to help the Monks (7-3-1, 7-0-1
GNAC) defeat Lasell College (5-3-2, 4-1-2), 3-1, in a battle
featuring the two remaining undefeated teams in conference play on
Monday.
Keaney scored the first of two goals just nine
minutes into the contest receiving a leading ball from
Jessica Needham (E. Bridgewater,
MA). Keaney dribbled past a Lasell defender
taking an open shot from right inside the eighteen.
Keaney then attacked again at 21:28, upping the
visitors lead to 2-0. Anna
Willis (Gorham, ME) set up the play, forcing a
50/50 ball with Lasell's goalkeeper Elizabeth Stickley (Mashpee,
MA). Willis won the challenge, dropping a
short pass just left of Stickley to Keaney, who
struck from within the goal box.
Lasell closed the gap with a rocket from Olivia Tsakiris
(Killingly, CT) from over twenty yards out in the 32nd
minute. Alaina Mitrano (Medford, MA) delivered the assist off a
corner kick to Tsakiris who sailed the ball high out of reach of
Katye Mayo (Fairfield, ME) in the
Monks net.
Saint Joseph's was awarded late chance to push further ahead
with a free kick from just outside the penalty box with less than
five minutes remaining in the stanza.
Elizabeth Theberge (Danvers, MA)
took the direct shot, however, Stickley punched the ball out of
play to protect the net. The Lasers remained in a 2-1
deficit through the halftime.
The Monks' final mark came, at 64:24, when
Chambers controlled a loose ball in front of
Lasell's goal and shot high to the upper left corner of the net,
making the score 3-1. The Lasers played hard throughout the final
minutes, with 16 total shot opportunities in the game, but did not
connect again.
Stickley and Mayo each controlled and refuted
six shots in their respective nets.
The Lasers are back in action on Saturday, October
17th during Family, Friends, and Alumni weekend, at
