BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. --  Junior Leann Rivard (Chicopee, Mass.) netted a pair of goals and an assist for five points to lead Westfield State to an 8-0 Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference women’s soccer victory over Massachusetts Maritime Saturday afternoon at Clean Harbors Stadium.

Rivard tallied twice and provided the helper on junior Colleen Bazinet’s (Charlton, Mass.) marker in the opening 26-plus minutes of play for the visiting Owls (7-1-1, 2-0 MASCAC), who also received goals from freshman Sarah Sypek (Westhampton, Mass.) in the 27^th minute and senior Heather Dragon (Westhampton, Mass.) in the 41^st minute to take a 5-0 advantage at the break.  Senior Ashley Kulik’s (Granby, Conn.) marker 4:42 after intermission extended the Owl edge to 6-0, and senior Kate Wye’s (Blackstone, Mass.) tally in the 84^th minute, coupled with an own goal with 1:18 remaining, closed out the visitors’ scoring for the contest.

Kulik collected a goal and an assist in the triumph for Westfield State, which also received a pair of assists from freshman Ashleigh Chretien (North Attleboro, Mass.) as well as single helpers from junior Kayley Miller (Ludlow, Mass.) and freshmen Megan Lussier (Dalton, Mass.) and Rachel Boulette (Enfield, Conn.).  Freshman Nicky Stasz (Easthampton, Mass.), who picked up an assist on Dragon’s goal, made a pair of saves in net to earn her second victory and first collegiate shutout for the Owls, while freshman Emilie Conway (Middleboro, Mass.) made a career-high 15 saves in the setback for the host Buccaneers (0-6, 0-2 MASCAC).  Westfield State outshot Massachusetts Maritime by a 33-6 margin for the match and took all 13 corner kicks on the day.
