BEVERLY, Mass.—A well executed set piece in the 18^th minute was all the Endicott women's soccer team would need as they defeated cross-town rival Gordon 1-0 on Tuesday evening in the final regular season contest for both squads. The Commonwealth Coast Conference tournament begins this weekend at various sites.

Sharlotte Pernice (West Springfield, Mass.) put Endicott on top early as the freshman scored her third goal of the season in the 17^th minute of play. Pernice scored on a quick pass from Laura Wysocki (Somers, Conn.) off a beautifully executed corner from Ashley Mueskes (Georgetown, Mass.) as the two seniors recorded their second and third assists respectively.

For Mueskes, the senior is now second on the team in assists with three while Wysocki moves into a tie with Pernice and Emily Rodewald (Canton, Mass.) for third with two asissts.

That would be all of the offense the two teams would combine for as the match would end with Endicott claiming a 1-0 decision. The Gulls controlled the possession for the majority of the match and as a result, held an advantage in nearly every statistical category including out-shooting the Scots 14-4 and holding a 5-3 advantage in corners.

Shelby Palafox (Lexington, Mass.) registered the only shot on goal for the Fighting Scots as four total players registered one shot each.

The Gulls would only need Caroline Armbruster (Stowe, Vt.) to make one save on as she improved to 7-3-2 as the starting keeper. The shutout was her fourth of the season and dropped her goals against average to 0.84 on the season. McKenzie Dion (North Grafton, Mass.) played well in defeat, making four saves on five shots.

The CCC women's bracket will be released on Wednesday following the conclusion of the final two regular season games.
