Medford, Mass. – Fisher College women's soccer improves to 10-3 on the season as they take a 4-0 victory from the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) on Saturday afternoon. The UMPI Owls drop to 1-11 on the season with the loss.
The first half of the game was led by the Falcons offense, but unfortunately, they could not get a ball to fall just inside the goal line. The Falcons were close to scoring in the first half with a shot directly at the goalie, the ball deflected behind the goalie, but a stop right at the line kept the Falcons off the board. Time expired in the first half with the score still 0-0.
After the break, the Falcons came out strong offensively. In the 57th minute, Schojan took a pass from fellow senior Amanda Santiago placing the ball in the lower left corner of the net to take a 1-0 lead over the Owls. Five minutes later, Santiago scored a goal of her own on a corner kick from Darien Lavino. Santiago earned another assist passing the ball up to Delaney McNulty who just got the ball past the goalie for a 3-0 lead for the Falcons. Senior Holly Lesperance added the last goal of the game in the 83rd minute to seal the 4-0 victory for the Falcons.
Fisher's offense took 41 shots with 22 shots on goal. Senior goalkeeper Paige Ciavarro earned a shutout victory for the Falcons while making six saves. Allie Lopez took the loss for the Owls making 18 saves and allowing four goals.
