Gustafson, Merrimack Blank Saint Anselm, 2-0
NORTH ANDOVER, MA – Behind 11 saves by senior
Brittany Gustafson (East Hampton, CT), the
Merrimack women's soccer Warriors (9-3-1, 5-1 NE-10) blanked
the Hawks of Saint Anselm Tuesday evening, 2-0.
Junior Ashley Alnwick (Groton, MA) scored her
sixth goal of the year, all of which have come on corner kicks.
Junior Jessie DeGraan (Braintree, MA) assisted
Alnwick's goal to put the Warriors up less than three minutes
into play.
Junior Meghan McClorey (Melrose, MA) added an
insurance goal for Merrimack in the 83rd minute on an assist from
freshman Jenn Pino (North Andover, MA).
Improving to a 3-2 record on the road, Head Coach Gabe
Mejail spoke of the team's performance.
“Even though it didn't show up in the box score,
Jackie [Vickers] was one of the chief reasons we
won tonight,” Mejail said. “We came back strong and
with such intensity in the second half, which led to a number of
good opportunities for us.”
The Warriors return to Warrior Field against the Chargers of New
Haven on Saturday, October 10 at 1:00pm.
