Wellesley Soccer Tops Emerson, 1-0
BOSTON, Mass. – Jennifer Lau (Honolulu, Hawaii) scored her
third game-winning goal of the season as she helped Wellesley
pick up a 1-0 win over Emerson College under the lighting on Wednesday
evening. The Blue improve to 3-1 on the season, while Emerson
stands
at 1-1-1 after the night contest.
The lone goal of the match came in the eighteenth minute when
co-captain Alison Carney (Healdsburg, Calif.) played a ball to
Lau’s feet in the box who ripped a shot into the bottom right
corner. Wellesley, who out-shot the Lions by a 22-6 margin, could
not find the back of the net again.
The Blue’s top chances came when Jordan Akerley (Gilford,
N.H.) blasted a shot off the crossbar just before the half and
after the break when first-year Haley Geller (Berkeley, Calif.)
hammered the ball to the top right of the net just to have Emerson
goalkeeper Katie Hartman (Northfield, N.J.) the ball past the post.
In her second straight shutout of the year, Blue goalie Katie
Martore (Great Falls, Va.) had five saves, while Lions netminder
Katie Hartman (Northfield, N.J.) turned away fifteen shots.
The Blue will return to action next Tuesday when the team hosts
Brandeis University in a non-conference 4 p.m. match.
