“We’re ready to keep this season going,” said Interim Head Coach Kate Carlson ’10.

������� Boston punched their ticket by knocking off No. 3 Plymouth State University 3-1 in the Little East Conference Tournament final on Saturday. The team failed to make the conference final last year.

“We were hungry, and we really wanted to get this W to make up for last season,” said junior Emilia Czapiewska, the MVP of the Little East Conference Tournament.

Women’s Soccer to Face No. 18 Stevens on Saturday

Fresh off their second Little East Conference Tournament title—their first since 2012—�����о��� Boston’s women’s soccer team will face No. 18 Stevens Institute of Technology on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Middlebury College in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament.

The Beacons shut out the four-time defending Little East Conference Tournament champions, Western Connecticut State University, 2-0 in the LEC final. With the win, freshman goalie Maria Spylios of Leominster set the record for most shutouts in a season (11) and the most wins in a single season (18).

“When I see that ball in the air, I try to go for it and I know my teammates have my back,” Spylios said.

Added Head Coach Amy Zombeck, “If somebody got beat, there was somebody right there behind, so we weren’t giving them easy opportunities.”

The winner of this Saturday’s match will face the winner of the match between Middlebury College and the University of New England on Sunday at 1 p.m.
