KSC scored the first three goals of the game.  After WSC goalie Natalia Araszkiewicz made a pair of superb saves on consecutive shots by Aleisha Nelly (Guilford, CT) and Jennifer Ortisi (Allenstown, N.H.), the Owls finally got on the board when Erin Lester (Walpole, N.H.) took a lead pass from Carolyn Crawford and beat Araszkiewicz for her team-leading fourth goal of the season.

Missy Mengual (East Berlin, CT) gave KSC a 2-0 lead at the half when she headed in a corner kick from Sarah Miller (Walpole, N.H.). It was Mengual’s first collegiate tally.

Returning to action after missing the last two games with a knee injury Suzanne Heinkel (Westfield, N.J.) completed the scoring for KSC when she converted a crossing pass from Colleen Antonini (Plymouth, MA.) for her first goal of the season.

KSC lost its shutout bid when Katy Winter (Rowley, MA.) scored for Westfield State with four minutes to play.

Goalies Michelle Mason (Fairport, N.Y.) and Sarah Campbell (Auburn, MA.) were not credited with saves in the game. Araszkiewicz finished with 14 saves for WSC.

KSC will host Wheaton College in a key regional game at Owl Stadium Complex on Saturday (3:30 p.m.).
