Wentworth Spoils Quickest Goal to Start Game in Ron Dias Coaching Era With 2-1 CCC Win

Box Score SPRINGFIELD, Mass.--Western New England Women's Soccer jumped out to an early lead, but visiting Wentworth scored the game's last two goals to come back for a 2-1 Commonwealth Coast Conference victory on Saturday at Suprenant Field. The Golden Bears fall to 1-5-2 overall and 0-1-1 in the CCC, while the Leopards improve to 5-1-1 on the season and 1-1 in the conference.

Seniors Alicia Lewis and Jessica Burke combined on what's believed to be the quickest goal to start a game during Coach Ron Dias' tenure at WNE, which got a goal from Brooke Labrie after 1 minute, 18 seconds of elapsed time during a 4-0 over Newbury College on Sep. 6 in Bangor, Maine. But this morning, Lewis fed Burke for her first career points in a Golden Bears uniform as she let go a shot from 20 yards out that banked off the upper part of the left post. After just 54 seconds following the opening kickoff, WNE took a 1-0 lead.

Wentworth, however, answered exactly nine minutes later on Mary Annon's fifth goal of the season. Morgan Miller headed a loose ball down to Michelle Murphy who then one-timed a pass through the defense to Annon, striking the ball with her left foot from about 22 yards out and over the keeper's hands.
