Kuo Scores Twice to Lead Engineers Over Bridgewater State University
BRIDGEWATER, Mass. --
Sophomore forward Emily Kuo
tallied a pair of goals to lead the visiting MIT Engineers to a 4-0
shutout victory over Bridgewater State University in non-conference
women's soccer action on Thursday afternoon at Swenson Field.
The Engineers improve to 7-2 on the season as they have won five
of their last six games. Bridgewater State falls to 3-5.
Senior midfielder Lauren Hernley opened the scoring with her sixth
goal of the season as she headed in a cross from sophomore defender
Andrea
Park in the ninth minute of play. Kuo notched her first
of the afternoon in the 21st minute as she knocked in a loose ball
off a scramble in front of the net.
Kuo would give the Engineers a 3-0 advantage with an unassisted
tally, her sixth of the year, in the 69th minute. Freshman
midfielder Rachel
Dias Carlson rounded out the scoring just over five minutes
later as she recorded her third goal of the season.
MIT held a 16-10 advantage in shots including a 9-3 edge in the
second half. Sophomore Meghan
Wright and senior Katy
Olesnavage split the goaltending duties for the Engineers as
they each played a half. Wright registered three saves while
Olesnavage turned aside one shot.
Junior forward Jordan McDermott paced the Bears with four shots,
with two of those on frame. McDermott had the best scoring
chance for Bridgewater in the 29th minute as her shot from just
inside the 18 sailed just over the crossbar.
Bridgewater travels to Worcester State University on Saturday
afternoon (2:00 PM) for a key MASCAC game with the Lancers.
MIT travels to Smith College for a one o'clock NEWMAC match with
the Pioneers.
