BOSTON, Mass. – Lily Carlson's second goal of the game, coming with 1:42 left in the contest snapped a 1-all tie and lifted the Wentworth Institute of Technology women's soccer team to a 2-1, come-from behind win over Albertus Magnus in the first game played on New Sweeney Field.

With the win the Leopards improve to 1-0-1 while the Falcons fall to 1-1-0.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• Albertus Mangnus applied pressure early with a pair of corner kicks in the first 6:06 of the contest, sandwiched around a shot on net that was saved by Emily Gamboa Ordini. After a foul, the Falcons struck first when a free kick outside of the box from Grace D'Amico found the foot of Addie Lamond who placed a shot inside the lower left corner.
• In the 21st minute, Brianna Reid took a shot that was saved and the rebound went out of bounds, resulting in a corner kick. Off the set piece, a shot went wide. The 26th minute saw another corner kick for Wentworth, however, the Leopards were unable to capitalize off the attempt.
• Gamboa Ordini came up a save off an Albertus Magnus corner kick in the 50th minute and thwarted the rebound attempt as well.
• At the 80:18 mark, the Leopards evened the score as Katie McTigue found Carlson in front of the net for the equalizer.
• After a McTigue took a corner kick from the left mark, the ball was played around until it eventually found the foot of Brooke Finlay. Finlay took a shot that was tipped by Falcon keeper Amy Stevens but the rebound squirted in front where Carlson tapped the ball in for the eventual game winner.
• In her collegiate debut, Gamboa Ordini made nine saves. Shots were even at 13-all and Wentworth had a 7-5 edge on corner kicks.
