DUDLEY, Mass. - The Nichols women's soccer program defeated Russel Sage College, 3-1, Tuesday afternoon in non-conference action at the Nichols Soccer Field.

The Bison (4-3-1) broke the scoreless tie 17 minutes into the match as sophomore Natalie Gray streaked down the field and buried a shot in the top corner of the net. Nearly 23 minutes later, Gray got herself back on the scoresheet after junior Emma Norton sent her pass out of the reach of the Gators (3-5-1) goalkeeper to extend the Bison lead to 2-0. Just before the end of the frame, junior Grace Killman buried a pass from freshman Stephanie St. Jean, capping the scoring for Nichols.

Russell Sage kept the match close behind a fourteen save performance by goalkeeper Kiersten Lynch, though they were not able to find the back of the net until mid-way through the second half.

The Bison return to Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) action Saturday, October 1, at 3:30 when they host Wentworth.
