    Beverly, Mass. – Facing a Curry College women's soccer team that had a 6-2 The Commonwealth Coast Conference (TCCC) record coming into today's match, the Endicott Gulls claimed a 5-1 victory over the Colonels. The Blue and Green remained undefeated in TCCC play with a 9-0 mark, 11-3-1 overall. 
    Curry dropped to 8-5 (6-3 TCCC) following the loss which was only their second in the past eight games.
    Endicott junior forward \#Colleen Pepin\# (Fairhaven, Mass.) scored the first of her two goals at 5:22 by beating Curry keeper Samantha Hardy (Pepperell, Mass.) with a low shot to the inside the right post. Gulls senior midfielder \#Kayla Plante\# (Sanford, Maine) assisted on the play.
    In the 15th minute, Colonels midfielder Suzanne Jensen (Framingham, Mass.) nearly tied the score with a left-footed blast, but the shot was saved by Endicott goalie \#Natalie Wyrsch\# (Dover, N.H.). 
    A header by Endicott senior \#Victoria Hunt\# (Cumberland, R.I.) was sent to the back of the net off a corner kick from teammate \#Chelsea Garlock\# (Meriden, Conn.) to put the home squad up 2-0 at 26:40. For Hunt, it was her second goal of the season. 
    The Gulls would tack on two more goals in the first half to take a 4-0 lead into halftime. Pepin netted her second goal of the match in the 31st minute, bringing her team-high total to 12, after Garlock found her teammate in the box for an open shot. At 40:41, Endicott's \#Vanessa Caruccio\# (Winthrop, Mass.) sent a through ball down the right side of the field to \#Karyn Plante\# (Sanford, Maine) who then crossed a center pass to the box for freshman forward \#Heather Moody\# (Dunstable, Mass.). Moody volleyed and scored her first collegiate goal.
    In the second half, Endicott scored their final goal of the match as sophomore midfielder \#Christine Silva\# (Stoneham, Mass.) fired a shot from the close right wing that hit the left post but landed inside the goal line to put the Gulls up 5-0. The goal was scored at 56:54.
    The Colonels got on the scoreboard in the 59th minute after Curry freshman forward Brittany McLaughlin (Wilmington, Mass.) collected a loose ball in the box and went to the top right shelf for her team-high seventh goal of the season.
