Box Score Worcester, Mass. – Senior Kristen
Murrone (Middletown, Conn.) scored the game-winning goal
less than three minutes into the first overtime, lifting host Clark
past Worcester State on Saturday afternoon in women's soccer
action on Granger Field.
Murrone's goal, which came at the 92:45 mark, pushes the
Cougars' record to 3-1 on the season, while the Lancers fall
to 1-2-1.
Worcester State seemed to have the best scoring chances in the
contest but each time it looked as if they would break through,
Clark netminder Joanna Clark (Windham, Maine) made
a save, including one on Gaby Gonet (Agawam,
Mass.) in the 62 nd minute.
Clark got the game winner following a cross towards the goal
that was punched out to the top of the box by Lancer netminder
Rachel Armenti (West Boylston, Mass.). The ball
rolled right to Murrone, who had time to settle it and fire a shot
to the back left corner of the net over an outstretched
Armenti.
Worcester State held a slight edge in shots (7-4) and Armenti
turned back three shots while the Clark made four stops for the
Cougars to collect her second shutout of the season.
Clark won't return to the field until Wednesday when they
visit Lasell College, while the Lancers are back in action on
Tuesday at WPI.
