FRAMINGHAM, Mass. --  Junior Marisa Parent (Revere, Mass.) netted a pair of goals to lead Framingham State to a 5-0 Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference women’s soccer victory over Massachusetts Maritime Saturday afternoon at Maple Street Field.

The host Rams (11-1-1, 5-0-1 MASCAC), who clinched a bye into the upcoming conference semi-finals, grabbed a 2-0 advantage in the opening 24:38 of play on markers by Parent and senior Kayla Austin (Winchester, Mass.), and junior Melissa Higgins (Waltham, Mass.) extended that margin to 3-0 in the 56^th minute on a corner kick conversion.  Parent converted an Austin feed in the 70^th minute for her second tally of the day, and freshman Alisa Georgio’s (West Greenwich, R.I.) goal with 52 seconds remaining in the match sealed Framingham State’s triumph.

Freshmen Tess Gorman (Swampscott, Mass.), Michaela Hyland (East Longmeadow, Mass.) and Elizabeth Foy (East Bridgewater, Mass.) each collected assists in the win for the Rams, as sophomore Sara Sullivan (Quincy, Mass.) made one save to notch her eighth triumph of the season in goal.  Sophomore Katie Levesque (Wilmot, N.H.) made 17 stops in the setback for the visiting Buccaneers (4-7-3, 0-6 MASCAC), as Framingham State outshot Massachusetts Maritime by a 42-3 margin and took all 10 corners on the afternoon.
