Women's Soccer Falls Close in Last Road Battle to JWU, 2-1

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (10/27/2026) - The Nichols College women's soccer team fell to Johnson & Wales University (JWU), 2-1, on Tuesday evening at the Scotts Miracle-Gro Athletics Complex.

After a scoreless first half, the Bison broke through in the 48th minute when Juliana Brimecombe scored her first collegiate goal at the 47th minute mark to give Nichols a 1-0 lead. 

Johnson & Wales responded just over a minute later, as Anna Button netted the equalizer at the 48th minute to even the score at 1-1. The Wildcats took the lead for good in the 69th minute when Sofia Soares converted a penalty kick to make it 2-1 in favor of JWU.

Elizabeth Johnson anchored the Nichols defense in goal, recording 12 saves across 90 minutes. The Bison finished with three shots, all of which were on target. Nichols also earned two corner kicks with both teams committing four fouls.

Brimecombe led the Bison offensively with one goal on one shot, putting her attempt on target. Avery Gravel and Jillian Caruso also recorded a shot on goal apiece. Nichols generated its first shot on target late in the first half when Gravel forced a save at the 42nd minute mark. After taking the lead early in the second half, the Bison continued to look for opportunities, with Caruso forcing a save at 58:30. Johnson & Wales maintained pressure throughout the contest, but Johnson made several important stops to keep Nichols within striking distance.

Johnson and Alyssa Senecal each played all 90 minutes for Nichols, while Maggi Cullivan logged 80 minutes, Hannah Pratt played 74 minutes, and Summer Bruno recorded 73 minutes. Johnson's 12 saves highlighted a busy night in goal as the Bison battled against the Wildcats' attacking pressure.

Nichols returns to action on Thursday, October 29, when the Bison host Salem State University for Senior Day at Nichols Soccer Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 PM.
