Springfield, Mass. - Visiting Clark University
snapped an 11-match losing streak to defending NEWMAC Champion
Springfield with a scoreless tie in a New England Women's and Men's
Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's soccer game on Tuesday
evening.
The tie brings Springfield's record to 6-2-3, 1-0-2 in league
action, while Clark, now riding a four match unbeaten stretch,
stands at 6-4-1, 2-0-1 in NEWMAC play.
Despite not finding the back of the net in the game, the Pride held
a 16-4 advantage in the shot department. Clark goalkeeper
Joanna
Clark (Windham, Maine) finished the contest with 10
saves between the pipes for the visitors collecting her 16th career
shutout, while Springfield's Katie Delude notched three saves.
The Pride had a pair of great chances in the second overtime to
score but were unable to convert. With just over three minutes left
in the contest, Brittany Collins had a point-blank shot from inside
the six-yard box that was turned aside by Clark. With only 14
seconds remaining, Caitlin Sawzuck ran onto a through ball and had
a breakaway towards the Clark goal, but her her left-footed attempt
sailed just left of the post.
Springfield returns to action on Saturday afternoon for a crucial
conference match against rival Wheaton, while the Cougars host
Babson on Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
