The Wellesley soccer team suffered two losses to Lesley and Endicott last week but recovered with a dominant 3-1 win at home versus Emerson on Saturday. Junior Melise Knowles and Senior Maddie Carlborg both scored, while first years Deyanira Ibarra and Julia Jung recorded their first collegiate goal and assist, respectively. With the win on Saturday, Blue Soccer has a 5-2 record so far this season with a loss this week to Lasell College. They have also beaten Simmons, University of Maine at Farmington, and Elms in their first three games of the season.

The Wellesley golf team posted a strong start to the season in their first tournament on Sept.10, coming in first place and setting the team’s best record with a score of 316 overall. The entire team shot very well in this tournament, and Wellesley finished the day with all seven team members as the day’s top scorers. This weekend, Wellesley Golf played the annual Ann S. Batchelder Invitational and took home fifth place, beating both Mount Holyoke and Vassar. The team scored a 655 overall after two days of competition on their home course. Led by head coach Sherry Makerney and junior captain Maya Muldowney, Wellesley has a young but talented team of golfers this year. They are scheduled to play at the Mount Holyoke Invitational next weekend in South Hadley, MA.

First year Kennedy Ulfig recorded a double-double with 13 digs and a season best with 13 kills during the Blue’s match against Covenant College on Saturday. Junior Alina Mota led the Blue defense against Covenant with a match high 21 digs and four aces. Blue Volleyball also beat Emerson College last Tuesday to improve to a 7-4 record overall heading into this week.
