WORCESTER, Mass.—The MCLA Women's Soccer Team traveled to Worcester State this afternoon for a MASCAC matinee with the Lancers. Destiny Alexandra Rivas made 13 saves, and Catelyn Hodge picked up her team-high eighth goal of the season as the Trailblazers fell 4-1.

THE BASICS:

  • Date: Saturday, October 12, 2024
  • Score: MCLA 1, Worcester State 4
  • Records: MCLA Trailblazers 2-9-0 (MASCAC 1-3-0) | Worcester State Lancers 5-5-2 (MASCAC 2-2-0)
  • Series History: Worcester State leads the all-time series 25-7-1, including a 5-0 Lancers win in North Adams last season on October 6th. MCLA took the first-ever meeting between the teams 10-0 on September 21, 1991, in North Adams.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Worcester State started the scoring in the ninth minute when Maddie Breuer (9th minute, unassisted) knocked home the rebound of a shot by Ava Lemanski, that fell right to her feet in front of an open net.
  •  The Lancers doubled up their lead before the half-time break when Amanda Cosco (39th minute) scored on a looping shot from about 20 yards out. Michaela O'Brien created the turnover that led to the goal and was credited with an assist.
  • Less than two minutes into the second half, Jessica Forbes (47th minute) extended the host's lead to 3-0, with O'Brien picking an assist.
  • First-year midfielder Catelyn Hodge (Schenectady, NY) scored what would be MCLA's lone tally of the game in the 51st minute.
  • Emma Jacobs added an additional insurance goal for the Lancers in the 52nd minute, and O'Brien picked up her third assist of the game.
  • Trailblazers' keeper Destiny Alexandra Rivas picked up a baker's dozen, 13 saves, but still saw their record fall to 1-1-0. Worcester States' Ella Gumienny picked up the win to even her record at 5-5-2.

UP NEXT:

On Wednesday, MCLA will be back in action when they travel to VTSU-Johnson for a non-conference matchup with the Badgers at Minaert Soccer/Lacrosse Field. The teams will take the pitch for a 3 p.m. kickoff.
