Over the past week the Wellesley soccer team has taken a huge leap forward. With two more wins under our belt, one being a conference game, the team is turning it around at the perfect point.
Our first big win of the week was just a few towns over at Brandeis University. The game started off a bit shaky with Brandeis scoring just 2:23 into the contest, but Wellesley quickly picked it up. We finally broke through about 15 minutes into the second half off a Chelsea Patry corner who found Five Head (Erin Simons) in the box. The goal was enough to take us into over time...
And in just 15 seconds of over time play Megan Turchi lofted a ball from about 30 yards, scoring the golden goal game winner!
The next game against Mt. Holyoke was held during Homecoming weekend at Wellesley. Despite the rainy weather, fans gathered and cheered on the Blue to a 4-0 victory. The first goal was scored by Amanda Young, off a through ball from Dozer (Jen Marble). The next three goals were scored in the second half by another Chelsea Patry corner, as well as a cross by Dozer to Patry. The last goal "sealed the deal" as Megan Turchi scored a penalty kick after Jennie Krasker was taken down in the box. The win marked the third shut out for the Blue and two more conference points.
