BRANDEIS UNIVERSITY: Judge women blank Beacons

The Brandeis University women's soccer team registered its third straight shutout of the season and seventh in a row dating back to 2007 as the Judges defeated visiting UMass-Boston, 2-0, on Gordon Field Saturday.

Brandeis did not allow the Beacons a shot until the 89th minute of the game.

Brandeis (3-0) got all the scoring they would need in the 26th minute. Freshman midfielder Alanna Torre sent a nice long ball to junior forward Melissa Gorenkoff. Gorenkoff dribbled into the box and fired a shot. UMass-Boston junior Courtney Haroules stopped the initial attempt, but Brandeis sophomore Sofia Vallone was there to put home the rebound for her second goal of the season.

The Judges added an insurance goal in the 62nd minute on a corner kick. Sophomore Tiffany Pacheco notched her team-leading third goal of the season when she headed home the corner taken by classmate Taryn Martiniello.

The Judges outshot the Beacons, 20-1, on the afternoon.

Brandeis is next in action on Wednesday at 5 p.m. against Babson College.
