Lancers Women's Soccer Hold off Rams to Remain Undefeated

Worcester, MA- Looking to keep their perfect record alive the Lancer's Women's Soccer team (3-0, 1-0) hosted Framingham State on Coughlin Field. The day's game was played in honor of student-athlete Evan Armit, who passed away on August 24th after a battle with Metastatic Melanoma. 

Final

Worcester State: 1

Framingham State: 0

How it Happened:

The Lancers opened aggressively, registering seven first-half shots. Junior Ava Lemanski (Clinton, MA) fired a pair of early chances just wide, while senior Ella Tatarczuk (Bedford, MA) and junior Olivia Magierowski (Brimfield, MA) each forced saves from the Rams' keeper. On the other end, goalkeeper junior Ella Gumienny (Douglas, MA) was tested repeatedly, making seven first-half saves to keep the score level at 0–0 at the break.

The second half saw Worcester ramp up the pressure with 15 more shots. Lemanski remained dangerous, sending multiple efforts high or wide before testing the keeper again in the 53rd minute. The breakthrough finally came in the 83rd minute, when Lemanski finished off a well-worked sequence from senior Erin Condon (East Bridgewater, MA) and first-year Gabby Villeneuve (Walpole, MA) for the decisive goal.

The Rams pressed hard in the closing moments, forcing Gumienny into two more saves in the 89th minute, but the junior stood tall to secure the win.

Gumienny finished with 9 saves for her third shutout of the season.

What's Next:

Worcester State (4-0, 2-0) returns to action on Tuesday with a trip down the road to Clark University  for a 7pm start.
