HIGHLIGHTS

• The AMCATS enjoyed its most successful women's soccer season in 16 years. The seven wins overall represent the most the team has recorded since going 7-12 in 2006.

• The AMCATS came out hungry in this game, looking to finish their season on a high note, outshooting their opponent 11 to four while holding a nine-to-nothing edge in corner kicks.
• The AMCATS' first goal in the 10^th minute came off a corner kick by senior defender Meghan Morrone (Westerly, RI) that was put home off the foot of sophomore midfielder Valentina Villa (Norwalk, CT). The goal was Villa's second of the season and third of her career. The assist was also Morrone's second of the year and third of her career.
• Sophomore forward Riley Michaud (Clinton, MA) gave the AMCATS an insurance goal in the 87^th minute when she settled a long feed from graduate midfielder Keannah Dunsmore (Georgia, VT) and was able to move past the Cadets defender as the goalie crashed towards her finish with a shot just out of the goalie's reach.
• Senior goalkeeper Alice Yokabaskas (Old Orchard Beach, ME) recorded two saves in the game, pushing her season total to a career-high 77.
