No. 18 Women’s Soccer Uses a Big Second Half to Defeat Bates, 3-0

LEWISTON, Me. – The No. 18 ranked Wesleyan women's soccer team secured another win Saturday morning, defeating Bates 3-0, as they look to climb the national rankings and conference leaderboard. Wesleyan now moves to 8-1 (6-1 NESCAC), winning their second straight while Bates drops to 3-7-2 (1-6 NESCAC). The Cardinals continue their march to a conference championship, sitting second in the conference with a date with first place Hamilton a week from today.
 
HIGHLIGHTS:
  • In a scoreless first half, there was still plenty of action. A physical first 45 minutes resulted in 13 total fouls between the teams including a yellow card for Wesleyan's Andrea Chiappetti '24 in the 16th minute
  • The offense started to come alive in the second half for Wesleyan as they put in their first of three second half goals just two minutes from the start of the second half. The goal was thanks to a penalty kick by Lina Rodriguez '24, who turned the momentum the Cards' way for the rest of the game.
  • For the next 15 minutes of match, it was constant scoring opportunities for the Cardinals. They recorded two corner kicks and six shots in that short span, the sixth shot ending up in the back of the net by virtue of a Julia Meehan '20, P'21 foot. She was set up on the play by Dani Milovanov '23 who recorded her first assist of the season. Meehan's shot was lofted from a tight angle on the right wing as the ball rose high in the air past a sprawling Bobcat goalkeeper in net. 
  • After a few more scoring chances over the next few minutes, Remi Feuerman '22 put the finishing touches on another Cardinals victory with her first goal of the year off an assist by Ally Stanton '24. Feuerman took a shot from distance, outside the 18, lasering its way past a diving Bates goalkeeper and into the lower right corner of the net.
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
  • A physical battle between the two schools led to Wesleyan putting up a season high 15 total fouls in the game. Bates finished with nine.
  • The Cardinals had two of their upperclassmen record their first career goals as Feuerman and Meehan were able to come through with the first goal of their careers in the road win
  • Wesleyan stays undefeated away from home, improving to 4-0 on the year
  • The Cardinals produced only four shots on goal in the contest, three of them ending up in the back of the net
  • Sarah Hammond '22 and Erin Dailey '23 combined for Wesleyan's 5th clean sheet of the season
UP NEXT:
Wesleyan (8-1, 6-1 NESCAC) returns to action tomorrow as they travel to Waterville, Maine to clash with Colby College (3-5-2, 0-5-2 NESCAC). The 11 am matchup deems important for the Cardinals as they try to keep pace with Hamilton in the NESCAC rankings.
