Springfield, Mass. - October 18 - The Springfield College women's soccer team beat conference opponent WPI behind the performance of its seniors, 4-2. Senior Kaitlyn Suller (Oviedo, Fla.) scored two goals for the Pride while seniors Meredith Healy (Niantic, Conn.) and Natalia Mottura (Scarsdale, N.Y.) had one goal each. 

Springfield improves to 5-8-0 overall and 4-3 in the conference while WPI drops to 9-4-2 overall and 4-2-1 in conference play.

The Pride's first goal came in the 4th minute of the game when Katie McFerran's (Selkirk, N.Y.) initial shot was saved and Suller was able to score off of the rebound.

Six minutes later, Suller drove down into the box and crossed the ball to Healy who buried one in the top left corner to put Springfield up two. 

In the 21st minute, McFerran found Mottura near the opposite post who was able to score her first goal of the season. 

Springfield added another goal when Lauren Darrell (Wethersfield, Conn.) sent a ball to Suller who ran onto the it and lifted the ball over the goalkeeper.

WPI added two goals to cut Springfield's lead, but an explosive first half from the Pride was too much to come back from.
