Hartford, Conn. – Sophomore Laura Nee (Duxbury, Mass.) scored twice for the second time this season to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 4-1 win over the visiting Wheaton College Lyons in women's soccer action this afternoon.  Trinity improves to 3-2, winning the first meeting between the two schools since 1994.  Wheaton, ranked No. 7 in New England, drops to 4-3.  Trinity, 3-0 at home thus far, hosts Colby in its first conference home game of the fall on Saturday, September 20 at 11 a.m.

Trinity jumped on the Lyons with two goals in the opening 7:01, beginning with Nee's fourth tally of the year in the fourth minute which she scored unassisted after stealing the ball in the Wheaton backfield.  Bantam senior forward Karyn Barrett (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) added her second of the year from sophomore midfielder Kendra Lena (Madison, Conn.), and Trinity led, 2-0, on its first two shots of the contest.  Each team took five shots in the first half, but just one of Wheaton's was on goal. 

Wheaton more than tripled its first-half shot total with 16 and had five corner kicks to none for the Bantams after the break, but Trinity junior goalkeeper Monica DiFiori (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) made six of her seven saves in the second half and kept the Lyons at bay until an unassisted goal by Caren McCarthy (San Jose, Calif.) with the visitors down 4-0 in the 85th minute.  Trinity sophomore Andi Nicholson (Grafton, Mass.) and Nee had scored on two of Trinity's three shots in the second stanza to up the Bantam lead to four.  Junior Ali Hinton (Lafayette, Colo.) finished with two saves for Wheaton.
