Links: Live Stats | Video
WALTHAM, Mass. – The Merrimack College women's soccer team will look to secure its third-straight win on Wednesday when they battle with Bentley in Waltham in a Northeast-10 Conference matchup.
The Basics
Date/Time: Oct. 15, 2015 | 3:30 p.m.
Records: Merrimack (7-2-3, 4-2-2 NE-10) | Bentley (3-6-2, 1-6-1 NE-10)
Location: Bentley Soccer Field | Waltham, Mass.
Last Time Out:
The Warriors kept their undefeated home record intact this past Saturday when they beat New Haven by a score of 2-1 in North Andover. Merrimack would go into the second half down 1-0, but two scores in the final 45:00 would earn the Warriors the win.
Senior Jenna Savi (Dedham, Mass.) would score her sixth of the season on a penalty kick nine minutes into the second to tie the game at one. The game-winner would come from sophomore Sarah Boucher (Northbridge, Mass.), one-timing a pass from six yards out past the keeper for the lead.
Last Season vs. Bentley:
The lone 2014 matchup between these two teams occurred in North Andover and would result in a 4-2 victory for the Warriors. Merrimack's point-scorers in the game would be highlighted by sophomore Andrea Rego (Dartmouth, Mass.), who finished with a goal and an assist, two assists from sophomore Victoria Carter (Smithfield, R.I.), and a score from junior captain Megan Gada (Bozrah, Conn.).
The Warriors:
- Despite going undefeated through their first six games, Merrimack is looking to put together a three-game win streak for the first time this season.
- Savi continues to impress in her senior campaign, currently with a line of six goals, eight assists and 20 points. She sits top-five in the NE-10 in all three categories.
- Currently eighth in the conference, a win on Wednesday could potentially jump the Warriors up as many as four sports in the NE-10 standings
The Falcons:
- Bentley is 3-6-2 on the season, with their most recent win coming in a 1-0 shutout of Stonehill last week.
- Forward Ana Tatum, the culprit of both Bentley goals in the 2014 4-2 win for the Warriors, is at the forefront of the Falcons' offensive attack this season, as she leads the team in goals (6) assists (3) and points (15).
Up Next
The Warriors continue to travel as they will head down to New Haven, Conn. for a Saturday game at noon with Southern Connecticut.
