HARTFORD, Conn. -  The Trinity College women's soccer squad fended off visiting Wellesley College, 1-0, in a non-conference match at the Trinity Soccer Field Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Bantams improve to 2-1-2 on the season, while Wellesley slides to 1-3 overall.

In the 74^th minute of play, the Bantams broke a scoreless drought when senior Tori Simas (Newburyport, Mass.) fired a shot from the wing, which was saved by Wellesley sophomore keeper Riley McNair (Cupertino, Calif.), but the loose ball trickled to Trinity first-year Aimee Poole (Ashland, Ore.), who found senior Dot Tilden (Hanover, Mass.) in front for the finish, giving the Bantams the 1-0 lead. Trinity maintained possession over the final minutes to lock up the victory.

The stout Bantams defense limited the Blue to one shot, while producing 16 shots, during the contest. Trinity senior goalie Mariana Cournoyer (St. Paul, Minn.) registered her third clean sheet of the season, while McNair recorded seven saves for Wellesley.

Trinity will be back on the pitch with a NESCAC road trip to Wesleyan University Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is slated for 11:00 a.m.
