Women's Soccer Drops 1-0 Decision to Clark In NEWMAC Semifinals

THE BASICS:
 
- Score: Clark - 1, No. 16 MIT - 0
 
- Records: MIT (14-5-2), Clark (12-5-2)
 
- Location: Cambridge, Mass. (Roberts Field)
 
- The Lead: The No. 16 MIT women's soccer team fell to Clark 1-0 in the semifinals of the NEWMAC Tournament on Thursday night on Roberts Field. The Engineers entered the match as the top-seed in the NEWMAC while the Cougars were the fourth seed in the tournament. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
- The Engineers tested the Cougars goalkeeper, Annabella White early in the match as sophomore Lauren Davis (Whitefish Bay, Wis.) and junior Meagan Rowlett (Dana Point, Calif.) sent shots on goal that were turned away. Senior Kaitlin Zareno (Montebello, Calif.) had a good look at the goal but her shot was blocked by a Clark defender.
 
- With just under 30 seconds left in the half, Cassandra Trevino sent a corner kick into the front of the goal where Jamie Clark got her head on the ball and put it into the upper corner for the score.
 
- MIT came out firing in the second half with Rowlett, senior Stephanie Howe (Geneva, Ill.), and sophomore Ashley English (Sheboygan, Wis.) taking shots within the first few minutes of the half.
 
- Graduate student Karenna Groff (Weston, Mass.) had two excellent opportunities to tie the match, but one shot rang off the crossbar and the other was saved by White.
 
- The Engineers had a flurry of opportunities with three corner kicks in the final minutes, but the Cougars' defense held firm to give Clark the 1-0 win and send them to the NEWMAC Championship match against Emerson.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
- This marked the first meeting between the two teams in the NEWMAC Tournament since the 2000 season when the Cougars defeated the Engineers, 3-2.
 
- MIT outshot Clark 17-2, including 10-0 in the second half. The Engineers held a 6-1 advantage in shots on goal and an 11-1 advantage in corner kicks.
 
- White made six saves in goal to earn her 12th win. Senior Lauren Castle (Ridgefield, Conn.) did not record a save in net for MIT and falls to 9-2-2.
 
UP NEXT:
 
- MIT will wait and see if it earns an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament when the bracket is revealed on Monday, November 7th at 2 p.m. on NCAA.com.
