NEW LONDON, N.H. – October 17, 2015 – The Colby-Sawyer College women's soccer team earned its eighth straight victory after a 3-0 triumph over Green Mountain College in North Atlantic Conference (NAC) action on a blustery Saturday afternoon at Kelsey Field.

Colby-Sawyer improves to 10-2-2 overall and 7-0 in the NAC. The Chargers will travel to Castleton on Tuesday for a 4 p.m. tilt between the conference's two unbeaten teams. Green Mountain falls to 2-11 overall and 0-6 in the conference. The Eagles will begin a three-match home stretch to finish the regular season on Wednesday against Lyndon at 3:30 p.m.

Maura Kane (Derry, N.H.) put the Chargers on the board six minutes into the match. Junior Lizzie Jorgensen (Manchester, Vt.) crossed a ball to the middle of the field where Kane took a shot from 18 yards out and scored her third goal of the season.

Jorgensen then doubled Colby-Sawyer's lead in the 33rd minute with a bending ball that went inside the far post for her third tally of the year.

The home team held a 2-0 lead at the break and quickly made it 3-0 less than a minute into the second half. Junior Olivia Kurowski (Abington, Mass.) was able to weave her way around an Eagle defender and the oncoming goalie to score at a difficult angle.

The Chargers defense held up for the rest of the match and allowed just four shots on the afternoon.

Senior Karley Hamilton (Bradford, Vt.) played the first 79:11, while freshman Oona Bond (Southborough, Mass.) finished the match to combine for the team's ninth clean sheet of the season.

Green Mountain goalie Kim Simonetti (Salem, Mass.) made eight saves for the Eagles.
