Tietgens and Scofield net Pair in Victory

BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. --  Senior Jess Tietgens (Stamford, Vt.) and freshman Ashlee Scofield (Averill Park, N.Y.) each netted a pair of goals to lead MCLA to a 5-0 Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference women's soccer victory over Massachusetts Maritime Saturday afternoon at Clean Harbors Stadium.

The visiting Trailblazers (5-2-2, 2-0-1 MASCAC) completed their scoring in the opening 22:10 of play, as Scofield tallied her first two collegiate markers in the third and 23rd minutes of action, respectively, while Tietgens added her seventh and eighth goals of the year in the ninth and 16th minutes.  Senior Danielle Parenteau (Southampton, Mass.) notched the other score of the day for MCLA off a corner in the 12th minute after assisting on Tietgens' first tally.

Senior Samantha Miller (Reading, Mass.) and sophomores Chelsea Beauchemin (Adams, Mass.) and Lindsay Borbolla (Greenwich, N.Y.) also added helpers in the win for the Trailblazers, as junior Jen Wehner (Cooperstown, N.Y.) and sophomore Kate Tsapatsaris (Peabody, Mass.) combined for three saves in splitting halves in goal for the visitors.  Sophomore Rachel Johnson (South Chatham, Mass.) made four stops in net in the setback for the host Buccaneers (2-5, 0-3 MASCAC), as MCLA outshot Massachusetts Maritime by a 17-8 margin for the contest.

Massachusetts Maritime will be idle until next Saturday morning when the Buccaneers head to Fitchburg, Mass. to take on Fitchburg State in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference match that begins at 10:00 a.m., while MCLA travels to Chicopee, Mass. on Thursday afternoon to take on Elms in a non-league outing that begins at 4:00 p.m.
