Early goal downs AMCATS in season opener
PAXTON, Mass.—Sophomore Jodi Theriault (Woodstock, Conn.) laced a free kick into the back of the net just 4:30 into the first half, as the Becker College women’s soccer team defeated Anna Maria College by a score of 1-0 on Wednesday afternoon at AMCAT Field. With the opening day loss, the AMCATS fall to 0-1, while the Hawks jump out to a 1-0 start to the 2010 season.
Theriault paced the Hawks with three shots on the day, but it was her first shot that made the difference. The sophomore midfielder went top shelf when she blasted a free kick from 20 yards out. AMC goalkeeper Tabitha Ruggeri (Southbridge, Mass.) was able to leap and get a hand on the shot, but wasn’t able to stop it from entering the goal.
The AMCATS settled down and gained momentum after the early goal, but were unable to break through against Hawks’ goaltender Christina Boucher (Pawcatuck, Conn.). AMC controlled the ball, outshooting Becker 11-6 on the day, but Boucher was able to answer the call each time, making seven saves en route to earning the shutout victory.
Anna Maria’s best opportunity came late in the first half when junior Amanda Hevy (North Brookfield, Mass.) put a hard shot on net that was turned away by Boucher. The rebound came to junior Marissa McCann (Webster, Mass.) who missed wide left to end the threat.
Hevy led the AMCATS with four shots, including three on net, while junior Alexa Hare (North Brookfield, Mass.) and freshman MacKenzie Levertue each added two shots of their own.
The Hawks will return to action next Wednesday when they host Mass. Maritime at 4:00 pm, while the AMCATS look to rebound when they travel to take on Mitchell College at 4:00 pm this Friday.

A Message from David Shea, Director of Athletics
What a wonderful time of year it is in Athletics. A chance to look back at all of the positive things that happened last year and a chance to look forward to of the great things to come.
During 2008-09, we successfully completed the inaugural seasons of four new programs (men’s tennis, women’s tennis, men’s lacrosse, and women’s lacrosse). Despite the many challenges that first-year programs face, each team was able to capture at least one victory. This success has all of our coaches, students, and faculty excited about the future of each program.
I am also extremely proud of the community service projects each of our athletes were involved in. Whether it was on or off campus, all of our student athletes carried out the mission of the Sisters of Saint Anne by helping out in the community and assisting those in need.
