Lady Hawks Shutout by Cougars

Leicester, Mass - The Lady Hawks suffered their first loss of the season to the visiting Clark Cougars 3-0 at Alumni Field this afternoon. Becker drops to 2-1 (1-0 NECC) and Clark improves to 2-1 on the season.

Both teams played a scoreless first half; Becker goaltender Ciara Lawrence (Costa Mesa, CA) had five saves. Clark's best scoring chance came with less than a minute remaining in the first half when Erin Murphy (Boxboro, MA)  was credited with a penalty stroke. Murphy's shot was low and outside and Lawrence made a great save to keep the game 0-0 at half.

Clark's Chelsea Proulx (Franklin, NH) mad the score 1-0 when she converted a pass from Carley Corkum (Newbury, MA) six minutes into the second half. Sasha Burgess (Chelmsford, MA) made it 2-0 three minutes later. Freshman Mary Nugent rounded out the scoring for the 3-0 final. Meghan Lennon (Charlton, MA) had two assists for the Cougars.

Lawrence finished with 13 saves for the Hawks.

The Hawks are back on the turf when they head to Salem State College on Tuesday, September 16 for a 3:30pm tilt with the Lady Vikings.
