WALTHAM, MA –
Claudia Jaszczak (Coatesville, Pa./Downingtown West) registered her second two-goal game of the weekend, and
Jasmine Miller (Millersville, Pa./Penn Manor) continued her torrid pace as visiting West Chester downed homestanding Bentley, 3-1, Monday afternoon.
West Chester (2-1) concluded its three-game swing through the New England states and the Northeast-10 Conference with a strong fourth-quarter performance. Bentley (1-1) spoiled the shutout bid from WCU goalkeeper
Emerie Loftis (Glen Allen, Va./Trinity Episcopal) in the final 31 seconds of the game.
Jaszczak finally broke a scoreless tie a little more than midway through the third quarter off an assist from
Ella Shockley (Delmar, Del./Delmar). She would add another tally 11 minutes later in the fourth quarter off an assist from
Gianna Funari (Vorhees, N.J./Bishop Eustace) that gave the visitors a two-goal lead. Miller notched her fourth goal of the year in the first three games four minutes after Jaszczak's second marker.
Loftis made three saves to pick up her second win of the season.
West Chester held a 15-6 advantage in shots and an 11-3 advantage in penalty corners.
The Golden Rams return to action on Sept. 12 against Adelphi in its home opener of 2023. That game is set for a 4 p.m. start.
