BEVERLY, Mass. (October 17, 2015) - The Western New England University women's soccer team dropped a 2-0 road decision at Endicott College this afternoon in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) action at Hempstead Stadium.

Senior goalkeeper Briana Kubik (Blandford, Mass.) turned aside nine of the 11 shots that came her way, including six in the second half. Kubik now ranks second in the CCC with 104 saves this season, and has recorded at least seven in eight of Western New England's 16 matches.

After almost 36 minutes of scoreless action, Endicott took a 1-0 lead when freshman midfielder Sharlotte Pernice (West Springfield, Mass.) tapped in a cross from senior forward Paige Marinelli (Burlington, Conn.).

Kubik made a diving stop on an attempt by Marinelli in the 58^th minute to keep the Golden Bears' deficit at one, but the Gulls struck again in the closing minutes to seal the contest. Senior midfielder Ashley Mueskes (Georgetown, Mass.) took a pass from classmate Emily Rodewald (Canton, Conn.) and buried a shot in the upper right corner of the net.

Senior forward Emma Norden (Belchertown, Mass.) and junior back Katelyn Cummings (Feeding Hills, Mass.) each put shots on net in the second half for Western New England, but both were saved by Endicott sophomore goalkeeper Caroline Armbruster (Stowe, Vt.), who picked up her third straight shutout.

Western New England (3-11-2, 1-4-1 CCC) will be back in action on Tuesday against Salve Regina University with the first of two matches at Suprenant Field next week, while Endicott (7-5-2, 4-1-1 CCC) remains at home to host Wentworth on Wednesday.
