Game Recap: Women's Soccer | | Lindsay LeSueur

Women’s soccer blanked by No. 7 Tufts in NESCAC quarterfinals

Tonna '26 made seven saves for the Continentals

MEDFORD, Mass. -- Tufts University's Elsi Aires scored in the 35th minute and Gigi Edwards made seven saves in the Jumbos' 1-0 win against the Hamilton College Continentals in a 2024 NESCAC Women's Soccer Championship quarterfinal at Tufts' Bello Field on Saturday, Nov. 2. 

How It Happened

  • Isabel Harvey '28 came close to putting the Continentals on the scoreboard twice in the opening 20 minutes, targeting the upper-left corner with both attempts. Edwards was up for the challenge, making two saves to keep the game scoreless.
  • The Jumbos opened the scoring with 10:47 left in the first half. Tufts maintained possession after a free kick, and the Jumbos pushed their way upfield. Nicola Summers made a run up the right sideline and delivered a lead pass that drew Hamilton's keeper out of position. Aires raced toward the ball and slipped a shot through the keeper's legs and into the net. 
  • Tufts nearly doubled its lead in the final two minutes of the first half, but the Jumbos were called for offsides. 
  • Edwards made an impressive diving save as Erin Rayhill '25 almost evened the score in the 54th minute on a missile towards the right post after a Jumbos failed clear attempt.  
  • Hamilton had a chance in the 86th minute on another shot attempt by Harvey, but Edwards secured the clean sheet with her final save of the match. 
  • Tufts outshot Hamilton 28-11, and held a 14-2 advantage on corner kicks.

Notes

  • Nationally ranked No. 7 Tufts (13-2-1 overall) earned the No. 2 seed after finishing the season with 22 points and a 7-2-1 NESCAC record.  
  • Hamilton and the then-21st ranked Jumbos battled to a 2-2 draw on Sept. 21 at Hamilton's Love Field. 
  • Harvey led the Continentals with three shots on target.
  • Rayhill, Olivia Zubarik '25, Sarah Flood '27 and Lauren Hanna '25 registered one shot on goal each.  
  • Nieve Tonna '26 tallied seven saves for the Continentals. 
  • Aires leads the Jumbos with 10 goals. 
  • Sommers handed out her fifth helper of the season.

Hamilton concluded its 2024 campaign with a 6-7-3 record. The Continentals finished in seventh place in the conference standings with nine points and a 2-5-3 mark, and were the No. 7 seed for the championship.
