NEW LONDON, N.H. – October 21, 2017 – The Colby-Sawyer College women's soccer team recorded its sixth shutout of the season with Saturday's 3-0 North Atlantic Conference (NAC) victory over Thomas College at sun filled Kelsey Field.   

Colby-Sawyer improves to 11-2-1 overall and 8-0 in the NAC. The Chargers will conclude NAC regular season play tomorrow with a home match against UMaine-Farmington at noon. Thomas drops to 4-11 overall and 3-5 in the conference. The Terriers will remain in New Hampshire and play at New England College on Sunday afternoon.  

The Chargers controlled the pace of action from the opening kickoff and scored twice in the first frame and once in the second to push their unbeaten streak to five in a row.

Junior Amanda Martin (Amesbury, Mass.) got the scoring started for Colby-Sawyer in the 28th minute when she finished a one-timer in close off a pass from junior Hannah Fields (Shapleigh, Maine).  

With less than four minutes to play in the first half, junior Morgan Keene (Barre, Vt.) doubled the Colby-Sawyer lead with her third tally of the season. Sophomore Leah Dupuis (Concord, N.H.) sent a pass to the top of the six-yard box that was volleyed by Keene into the left corner of the net.

Amanda Martin tacked on an unassisted goal 13 minutes into the second half. She traveled with possession down the left flank and took a tough angled shot past the outstretched arms of the Thomas keeper. The goal was Martin's sixth of the season.  

Sophomore goalies Sam Mitchell (Chester, N.H.) and Marissa Williams (Mattapoisett, Mass.) each played a half and did not face any shots to combine for the clean sheet for the Chargers. Thomas keeper Kayla Gordon (Wiscasset, Maine) made four saves. Sophomore midfielder Taylor Peno (Hooksett, N.H.) also saved a goal for Thomas on a great chance by Colby-Sawyer in the first half.

The Chargers outshot Thomas 14-0 and had a 9-0 advantage in corner kicks.
