WPI 7, Salve Regina 0

Newport, RI - Seven different players scored for WPI in a 7-0 non-conference women's soccer win over Salve Regina University that was the season opener for both teams Friday afternoon.

Jocelyn Moody (Bainbridge Island, WA) opened the scoring for the Engineers (1-0) when she corralled a corner kick from Ashley Maiorano (Southampton, MA) and put it past Salve goalie Katie Vaudrain (Pawtucket, RI) (8 saves) just 4:30 into the game. The duo reversed roles in the 12th minute, as Maiorano scored off an assist from Moody, who added another assist in the second half.

Adding goals for WPI were Amanda Gurnon (Tolland, CT), Sophia D'Angelo (Dayton, OH), Kelly Thompson (Pine Brush, GA), Julia Berg (Cambridge, MA) and Krista Baker [FR\Medway, MA]. D'Angelo, Thompson, Baker and Liz Tuite (Hopkinton, MA) had one assist each.

WPI goalie Nicole DeCampo (Stoneham, MA) made six saves to post the shutout.

Salve (0-1) got a strong performance from sophomore Samantha Sandland [SO\Wareham, MA] on defense. Sandland and Vaudrain - a freshman - each played the entire game for the Seahawks. Salve had eight freshmen play significant minutes in their collegiate debut.

Salve Regina hosts Babson College in a non-conference game Saturday at 4pm. WPI will travel to Western Connecticut on Tuesday for a 7pm tilt.
