Worcester, Mass. – Clark University and visiting Wellesley College played to a weather-shortened 0-0 tie in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's soccer action on Saturday afternoon.

 

The game, which began with a light drizzle, eventually morphed into a scene that became unsafe to continue play in the game's 71st minute as heavy snow blanketed the field.

 

Clark had the game's best scoring chance when the snow began to pick up its intensity. Hannah Moriarty fired a shot from just outside the box that Wellesley netminder Claire Cerda was able to deflect over the top of the crossbar at the 61:42.

 

S.J. Gray and Cerda, split time in goal each making three saves for the Blue, who will continue their season as the No. 6 seed in the upcoming NEWMAC Tournament. Wellesley, standing at 4-10-5, 3-5-1 in league play, will travel to No. 3 MIT on Tuesday in the Quarterfinals.

 

The Cougars (6-8-3, 4-3-2 NEWMAC), meanwhile, will continue their season on Tuesday with a NEWMAC Tournament Quarterfinal matchup as the No. 5 seed. They will travel to No. 4 Babson to take on a Beaver squad that has an 11-4-2 ledger. The start time will be announced later.
