SOMERVILLE -- The Tufts University Jumbos used lockdown defense
to shutout the Colby College Mules 3-0 on Homecoming Day Saturday
afternoon in NESCAC women's soccer play at Kraft Field.
The Jumbos did not take long to take control of the match,
scoring less than seven minutes in when senior Whitney
Hardy (Truckee, CA) headed the ball home after senior
Cara Cadigan's (Nahant, MA) shot ricocheted off
the crossbar. It was Hardy's third goal of the year.
Cadigan would double the lead for Tufts with 30:01 left in the
first half after she stole the ball and went in on a breakaway;
tallying her second goal of the season.
In the second half the Jumbo defense did not allow a single
Colby shot on goal while the offense continued with tremendous
pressure. Tufts added a late insurance goal with 13 minutes
remaining on junior Bailey
Morgan's (Universal City, TX) first goal of the
season. The ball would graze the crossbar and sail over the head of
Colby's junior keeper Loni Pisani (Kanata, Ontario). Sophomore
Lauren
O'Connor (Dudley, MA) and junior Audrey Alma
(Portland, OR) earned the assists.
Tufts senior keeper Kate
Minnehan (Hopkinton, NH) played the full 90 minutes
for the Jumbos, and only had to make one save for the shutout.
Pisani made four saves for the Mules while allowing the three
goals.
The Jumbos are now above .500 in the NESCAC at 3-2 as well as in
the overall standings at 5-4. Colby falls to 1-4-1 in conference
and 3-5-1 overall. Tufts takes on Connecticut College in a 4 pm
matchup at Kraft Field on Wednesday. The Mules welcome in-state
rival Southern Maine on Wednesday.
