Women's Soccer Drops Season Opener at Boston College

NEWTON, Mass. (August 14, 2025) – The Stonehill College women's soccer team kicked off its 2025 regular season with a non-conference matchup against Boston College. After enduring a 61-minute weather delay, the Skyhawks fell to the Eagles, 4-1.

Highlights
  • Junior Kayla Cassidy netted her third career goal and the first of the season for Stonehill in the 80th minute.
  • Senior Katie Carey registered her first collegiate point on an assist.
  • Sophomore goalkeeper Allie Sougaris posted five saves in net for Stonehill.
  • First-year students Holley MacLellan, Jenna Hamel, Dani Lomuscio, and Madison Oglesby made their collegiate debuts.
  • First-year students Emily Mara and Milla Lee as well as sophomore Amalie Dray each scored the first goals of their collegiate careers,
  • Senior Sophia Lowenberg paved the way offensively for the Eagles, tallying three-points on the night off a goal and an assist.
  • First-year student Sohana Spencer registered her first career point on an assist for Boston College.
  • Junior Olivia Shippee picked up her first win of the season in goal after posting two saves throughout the non-conference matchup.
How it Happened
After a back-and-forth opening to the non-conference matchup, senior Hannah Anselmo delivered a perfectly placed cross in the eighth minute to junior Lily Newell, whose header struck the post—coming within inches of giving the Skyhawks an early lead.

In the 21st minute, junior Emma Cranston unleashed a shot from 10 yards out, but Boston College's defense stepped in to deflect the attempt wide, keeping the match scoreless. Just seven minutes later, junior goalkeeper Olivia Shippee made a remarkable point-blank save to deny junior Kira Pomrinke her first collegiate goal.

The Eagles came out strong after halftime, but in the 48th minute, junior Annie Renz connected with Newell, who chipped a shot toward goal. Shippee responded once again with a diving stop to preserve the 0-0 deadlock.

Boston College eventually broke through with four goals in an 11-minute span—from 52:18 to 63:12—off the boots of Mara, Lee, Lowenberg, and Dray to build a commanding 4-0 advantage.

Stonehill broke through with 10:24 remaining when Carey found Cassidy sprinting up the far side of the pitch, and she rocketed a shot past junior Faith Fenwick to put the Skyhawks on the board.

Despite the late tally, the Eagles' lead proved too much to overcome, as Stonehill dropped its season opener, 4-1.

Up Next
Stonehill (0-1-0, 0-0-0 NEC) returns to action on Sunday, making its 2025 home debut against non-conference opponent Bryant University. Kickoff from WB Mason Stadium between the Skyhawks and Bulldogs is set for 1 PM.
