Wellesley College Soccer put in another week of solid team performances to increase their NEWMAC record to 4-0. On Tuesday October 7th The Blue came out with purpose against US Coast Guard Academy and were first to strike just two minutes into the first half. It took the USGA 65 minutes to answer but a cool finish by Catherine Caruso in the 83rd minute was enough to secure the win. This game was the debut of our new 4-5-1, while there were a few unsteady moments overall we were pleased with how we played. Some more attacking presence allowed us to produce more dangerous chances and took some of the pressure off our back line.
Saturday October 11th WSC matched up against MIT in another NEWMAC contest. In 2007 the Blue were upset by a score of 4-1 so we had something to prove. Both our goals were a result of some great combination play. While MIT has their fair share of chances we managed to keep a clean sheet and got a much-needed result. As a group we are continuing to develop our understanding of how best to work with each other in the new system of play but looked stronger as the game progressed.
While we are pleased to be sitting at the top of the NEWMAC table the meat of our schedule still ahead so we are focused on maintaining our momentum and not resting on our performances. It’s an exciting time for the Blue and, as always, the team thanks you for all your kind words and support!
Joca Bonito,
WSC
