Box Score

BOSTON, Mass. - First-year Kelly English (Mansfield, Mass.) turned away a pair of shots in goal to win her collegiate debut as six different Nichols College women's soccer players found the back of the net in a 6-0 victory at Wheelock in a non-conference match on Thursday night at Winsor School. The  Bison move to 2-2-1 on the year and will host Curry on Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m. for a Commonwealth Coast Conference match.

Wheelock's (0-4-0) defenders, led by freshman sweeper Madeline Domingo (Newington, Conn.) held the Bison scoreless for nearly 43 minutes before sophomore forward Alyssa Tosti (Douglas, Mass.) put Nichols on the board when her shot ricocheted off a Wildcats' defender and into the back of the net with just 2:21 left to play in the first half.

Domingo and freshman midfielder Katlyn Rose D'Errico (Nashua, N.H.) each attempted shots on the night for Wheelock.

Nichols rookie forward Anjali Rowe (Newington, Conn.) increased the visitor's margin to 2-0 with a shot in the near corner at the 65:47 mark, before Tosti found senior forward Erica Silvia (Middletown, R.I.) with a cross in front of the net, that she fired past the keeper into the left corner just 38 seconds later to give the Bison a 3-0 advantage.

First-year midfielder Abbigail White (Wells, Maine) gave Nichols a 4-0 lead at 76:09 after lifted a shot off a direct kick from 25 yards out into the back of the net and classmate Chelsey Mahoney (Dracut, Mass.) followed with her first collegiate goal on a shot perfectly placed into the far right post from 18 yards away. Sophomore midfielder Bryanna Goodine (Dracut, Mass.) capped the night's scoring for the Bison at 78:48 with a shot from the left side of the box into the right corner for a 6-0 cushion.

English stopped both shots that she faced to record her first collegiate victory for Nichols, while senior goalie Maureen Lynch (Holbrook, Mass.) went untested in the final 11:12 of relief for the shared shutout. Senior Kailah Simon (Norwalk, Conn.) stopped 12 of 16 shots in 76:09 of action for Wheelock, before yielding to junior Alyssa Collier (Trappe, Pa.), who turned away one of three shots she faced in the final 13:51.
