BRIGHTON, Mass. – The Simmons University Soccer team welcomed the Warriors of Eastern Connecticut State (ECSU) to Daly Field for the Sharks' home-opener. The visitors got on the board early and came away with the 5-0 win.

How It Happened

• The Warriors connected on two early goals to swing the momentum in the visitors' favor and eventually held the 3-0 advantage at halftime.
• Simmons did not let up and continued to fight in the humid conditions, surrendering just two more tallies from ECSU in the second. Near the end of regulation, Grace Nostrant slid a beautiful pass to the feet of Ella Askren, but the Warriors' defender was able to poke the ball away to preserve the shutout. 

Beyond The Box Score

• Newcomer Lauren Sanchez made her first appearance at Daly in goal during the second half for the Sharks and made a career-high four saves in a Simmons' jersey.
• Simmons returns to action on Wednesday, September 10 to play Anna Maria on the road.
