HOW IT HAPPENED: 

  • The two sides played a scoreless first half despite the visitors outshooting the Rams 13-to-3. Solid goalkeeping by Jetta Oskirko who made seven first-half saves kept Wellesley off the board. 
  • Wellesley had a great look in the 58th minute when Carrie Huang sent in a corner kick into the box that was headed by a Wellesley player and hit the crossbar.  
  • Oskirko made another great save in the 66th minute when Paige Sangston gathered a loose ball between two defenders and had an open look at goal that was saved by Oskirko. A couple minutes later Marleigh Ausbrooks had a 1-on-1 look with Oskirko that she saved.  
  • The visitors finally broke through in the 77th minute when Ella Hong set up Paige Sangston who found the open net.  
  • The Blue defense locked in and kept the Rams to one shot in the second half.
