It wasn’t the easiest opening weekend for NEC soccer, but the highlight was worth it.
CCSU earned the program’s 300th victory in their win over Lafayette on Sunday, posting a 2-0 win to go to 1-1 on the season. Riley Powers got the Blue Devils on the board early with Gabby Smith adding insurance in the 76th minute. Keeper Melina Ford posted a clean sheet. The Blue Devils, now 1-1, needed 7 saves to keep Lafayette off the board. CCSU began their women’s soccer program in 1995.
The Blue Devils will be back in action for a Sunday night kick against Albany 8/23.
The other win came from the Wagner Seahawks, who posted a 2-1 win over traditional rival Monmouth. They’ll be back at it on Sunday morning at Manhattan.
