PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Plymouth State University made the most of two second half goals in a 2-0 shutout of Wellesley College soccer on Wednesday at Arold Field. The win improves the Panthers to 3-3 while the Blue fall to 3-2-1.

At the 55:17 mark, Panthers first-year Maggie McDonald (Pembroke, Mass.) booted a shot from the upper right side just beyond the penalty area that lofted high over the goalie and into the upper left side of the goal.

Senior Molly Bellmore (Hebron, Conn.) upped the PSU lead to 2-0 with just under four minutes in the contest. Bellmore dribbled through a pair of defenders and spotted the ball in the top right corner of the goal.

Sophomore Christa Giansiracusa (Tewksbury, Mass.) was perfect for Plymouth State, defending all 10 shots on goal.

Senior keeper Riley McNair (Cupertino, Calif.) stopped two shots for Wellesley in the opening half while first-year Olivia Lore (Blue Bell, Pa.) tallied a pair of saves in the second stanza.
