LaBossiere scores two goals on the week, lifts Wildcats over Newbury

 Chestnut Hill, Mass. - Freshman Brook LaBossiere (Mattapoissett, MA) scored what would prove to be the game winning goal in the second half of Saturday's game to give Wheelock a 3-2 victory over Newbury College and their first win in the newly formed New England Collegiate Conference (NECC). The win improves the Wildcats to 1-0 in the conference and 2-0 on the season.
     After falling behind 1-0, senior Stacy Seidner (Pembroke, NH) tied the game with an unassisted goal. Newbury took the lead a second time when the Eagles' Jessica Graus scored her second goal of the game. The score remained 2-1 until 15 minutes into the second half when Lindsey Lacourse (Scarborough, ME) scored on an assist from Alana Dias (Swansea, MA). LaBossiere scored the game winner a few minutes later to put Wheelock on top for good.
     Earlier in the week the Wildcats dropped a 8-2 decision to Eastern Nazarene College. LaBossiere and first-year Haley Butler (Yarmouthsport, MA) scored the two goals. Sophomore goalie Victoria Ferndandes (Randolph, MA) recorded 16 saves in the loss and four more on Saturday against Bay Path.
