BOSTON, Mass. -- Host Emmanuel College got two goals from senior forward Katelyn Fink (Sanford, Maine) on their Senior Day game and dealt a 5-0 defeat to Mount Ida College in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) action on Saturday afternoon at Alumni Field.

Mount Ida freshman goalie Kelsey Parkin (Standish, Maine) ended the contest with 10 saves.
Fink found the back of the net just 1:49 into the action to give the hosts a 1-0 lead. Following a direct kick into the Mustangs box, junior midfielder Maggie Carey (Swampscott, Mass.) went up and deflected the ball, finding Fink in the air and the senior headed home her fourth goal of the year.
During the 22nd minute of play, freshman midfielder Kayla Generis (Wethersfield, Conn.) made it 2-0 with her fourth goal of the year. Senior forward Molly Carey (Swampscott, Mass.) played a cross into traffic that Generis redirected on frame to beat Mount Ida freshman keeper Parkin.
