BROOKLINE, Mass. -- Amidst the emotions and celebrations of Senior Day at Parsons Field, the Northeastern women's soccer team (10-5-2, 4-1-2) used an offensive explosion to cruise to a 4-2 win over William & Mary (6-9-2, 2-4-2).

The Huskies celebrated the achievements of seniors Mollie Rosen, Hannah Lopiccolo, Taylor Caparo, Kayla Cappuzzo and Carly Wilhelm as the five seniors enter the twilight of their Northeastern soccer careers.

For Cappuzzo, the match quickly turned from celebrating past success to leaving a permanent mark on the Northeastern record book. With the game tied 1-1 in the 36th minute, Cappuzzo lifted a cross to junior Nicole Gorman who smashed home a shot to make it 2-1 Huskies. With the assist, Cappuzzo became the all-time leader in assists at Northeastern as she recorded her 20th career helper.

In the second half, Cappuzzo notched another assist as she set up Lopiccolo for the eventual game-winning goal. Lopiccolo's strike was her 20th career goal, putting her in exclusive company as one of seven players to register 20 goals at Northeastern.  

Rosen took over for junior Nathalie Nidetch in goal with just under 16 minutes to play in the game. She recorded two saves to help the Huskies close out the win.
