NEW LONDON, Conn. – Senior Gemma Landry (Lewiston, ME) recorded a career-best 27 saves on Saturday afternoon, breaking the record for most saves in a single game in the Division III era of Mitchell College women's soccer program, but it came in a 7-0 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) loss to Johnson & Wales University at Alumni Field.
Landry, who already owns the record for most total saves in program history, surpassed the previous record of 26 saves in a single game, held since 2007 by Colleen Seymour. It also marks the second time in Landry's collegiate career she has recorded 20 or more saves, having turned away 20 shots during her freshman season in a game at Curry.
Seven different players scored for the Wildcats during the 7-0 decision, as JWU built a 4-0 lead by halftime and tacked on three more in the second stanza. Sophomore Sophia Warburton tallied one goal and two assists during the first half, while graduate student Madison Sanborn finished with both a goal and an assist in the win.
Sophomore Ava Vaughn picked up the win without making a save for the Wildcats, logging the first 69:40 in goal before being replaced by freshman Morgan Presby.
The Mariners (0-7, 0-7 GNAC) are off until Friday, October 4, when they return to play on the road at Norwich University for a GNAC match beginning at 6:00 pm. The Wildcats (7-2, 6-0 GNAC) jump right back into action on Sunday, September 29, with a non-league game at home against Trinity College.
