Women's Soccer Bests Mass Maritime To Remain Unbeaten In MASCAC

Buzzards Bay, MA --- Senior Shelby Archer (Dayville, CT) and junior Alicia Macomber (Stoughton, MA) each netted a goal and an assist to lead Worcester State to a 5-0 MASCAC women's soccer victory over Massachusetts Maritime this evening at Clean Harbors Stadium.

Sophomore Kendal Bergenholtz (Grafton, MA) gave the visiting Lancers (9-3, 4-0 MASCAC) the only goal they would need 12:39 into the contest on a feed from senior Alyssa Sawyer (West Springfield, MA) and Archer's unassisted tally in the 28th minute extended that margin to 2-0 at the break. 

Macomber took a pass from junior Mackenzie Foye (Ludlow, MA) in the 63rd minute and converted a breakaway for her team-leading ninth marker of the season to give Worcester State a 3-0 advantage.

The visitors then added a pair of goals in a 58 second span in the 72nd minute, as freshman Justine Butler (Marlboro, MA) headed in a Macomber corner kick before senior Kaleigh Evans (Saugus, MA) converted an Archer feed on a breakaway to close out the scoring.

Junior Jillian Witkowski (Leicester, MA) picked up her eighth win of the season without having to make a first half save on the night for Worcester State, which received a second half stop from sophomore Vanessa O'Donnell (Worcester, MA).

Junior Katie Levesque (Wilmot, NH) made 10 saves in the setback for the host Buccaneers (3-6-3, 0-3-1 MASCAC). 

Mass Maritime heads to Milton on Tuesday evening to take on Curry in a non-league match that features a 7 PM kickoff. The Blue and Gold will play again next Saturday on homecoming against Salem State in an 11 AM MASCAC matchup.
