BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. --  Junior Leslie Hayden (Ross, Calif.) scored a pair of goals to lead Suffolk to a 5-0 non-league college women’s soccer victory over Massachusetts Maritime Tuesday evening at Clean Harbors Stadium.

Junior Natalie Favati (Singapore, Singapore) gave the visiting Rams (13-2-1) the only goal they would need to extend their winning streak to nine straight with an unassisted marker (her fourth of the season) in the 38^th minute for a 1-0 advantage at the break, and Hayden extended that margin to 2-0 in the 64^th minute by converting a feed from freshman Meghan McHale (Halifax, Mass.).  Suffolk then struck for three tallies in just over seven minutes, as freshman Mia Dangora’s (Billerica, Mass.) first collegiate goal in the 71^st minute of play was followed just 1:26 later when freshman Gabrielle Balestrier (Mohnton, Pa.) converted a Favati feed for her 15^th marker of the fall.  Hayden capped the Rams’ scoring by converting a penalty kick with 12:30 remaining in the contest (her 13^th goal of the season) after being taken down in the penalty area.

Senior Emily Joyce (Easton, Mass.) picked up her 13^th win of the season in goal for Suffolk with a three-save effort, while sophomore Kim Courcy (Warwick, R.I.) made 15 stops in net in the setback for the host Buccaneers (3-10) as the Rams outshot Massachusetts Maritime by a 25-7 margin for the match.

Massachusetts Maritime closes out its 2010 schedule on Saturday afternoon by heading to Salem, Mass. to take on Salem State in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference match that begins at 3:00 p.m., while Suffolk will begin play in the 2010 Great Northeast Athletic Conference Championships as the top seed on Sunday afternoon at Dilboy Stadium in Somerville, Mass. with a quarterfinal round match against an opponent to be determined beginning at 5:30 p.m.
