Saturday, September 17, 2011(Newton, Massachusetts) - The Mount Ida College women's soccer team dropped their third consecutive loss and their third Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) bid to hosting Emmanuel College Saturday afternoon by a score of 2-0 in Boston, Massachusetts. 

Mount Ida falls to 1-4 overall and remain winless in conference play standing at 0-3.

The Saints stormed out of the gates, dominating the offensive play for much of the game.  Emmanuel sophomore Lindsey Garvey (Warwick, RI), who scored both for the Saints, netted her first goal just ten minutes into the game.  Senior Logan Carr's (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) corner kick set up Garvey for her 6th goal of the season.

Emmanuel would hold onto its one-goal edge, taking the margin into the break at halftime.  At the half, the Saints led the Mustangs in shots, 12-4.  Emmanuel continued to pepper Mount Ida keeper Tracy Koukol (North Attleboro, MA/North Attleboro) with shots in the second frame.  The senior goalie was tough between the pipes, but was challenged by Emmanuel's experienced offensive line.

Garvey tacked on another marker in the 57th minute.  She drilled in a cross, received from junior forward Candace Scanlon (Millbury, MA), putting the Saints up 2-0.  Garvey now has 13 career goals and leads all Emmanuel goal-scorers with 7 goals in 2011.

The Saints finished the day with a 26-4 advantage in shots.  Mustang freshman midfielder Sierra Legge (Schodack Landing, NY/Maple Hill) recorded two of the four shots on the Saints.

Koukol wrapped up a strong afternoon with 15 saves.  Emmanuel's junior keeper Jessica D'Ottavio (Pawling, NY) picked up the win for the Saints, her 11th career shutout.  D'Ottavio made 2 stops on Mount Ida shots en route to the win.

The Mustangs are also back in action on Monday, when they host Elms College in a 3:30 pm start.
