BOX SCORE

BABSON PARK, Mass. - The Babson College women's soccer team defeated visiting Clark University 1-0 in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) game Saturday afternoon at Hartwell-Rogers Field. Babson senior tri-captain Jackie Graham (Winchester, Mass.) scored the only goal of the game to help lead the Beavers to victory. With the win, Babson improves to 6-3-4, 2-0-2 in the NEWMAC, and Clarks is now 5-6-0, 2-2-0 NEWMAC.

Graham's goal came in the 25th minute of the play when there was a scramble in front of the net between Babson sophomore Patty Pytlik (Wellesley, Mass.) and Clark goalkeeper Joanna Clark (Windham, Maine). Pytlik was able to knock the ball free to Graham who scored in the open net for the lone goal of the game.

Behind solid efforts from defenders Sam Bartman (Upton, Mass.), Laura Bucci (Norfolk, Mass.), Kayla Pomponi (Belmont, Mass.), and Katie Warjas (Dedham, Mass.), Babson allowed just one off-goal shot in the contest.

Babson sophomore goalkeeper Sarah Macary (Woodbury, Conn.) also played the entire game for the Beavers but was not called upon to make any saves. Clark goalkeeper Joanna Clark made eight saves for the Cougars, six of which came in the second half.

The Beavers return home on Tuesday, October 14th for another NEWMAC contest against Wheaton College at 3:30 pm. Clark also continues NEWMAC play Tuesday when they visit Smith College for a 4:00 pm game.
