    Local roundup: Conn College women's soccer team wins

    New London — Freshman Mya Johnson and junior Kat Norton each scored a goal to lift the Connecticut College women's soccer team past Johnson & Wales, 2-0, in its home opener at Freeman Field on Wednesday.

    Johnson, a former Old Lyme High School all-state standout, put the Camels on the board in the 17th minute when she took a through ball from Tori Kretzmer and fired in a left-footed shot to the far post.

    The Camels, who had a 19-9 shot advantage in the match, wasted no time doubling the margin in the early stages of the second half by getting a marker from Norton on a breakaway opportunity.

    Johnson and Norton have accounted for six of the team's seven goals this season.

    The Camel defense, primarily anchored by Maegen Dillon, Erin O'Brien Powers, Emily Lorry and Shannon Finnegan, held its ground to help preserve the shutout.

    Katy Pelletier picked up her first career shutout by making five saves for the Camels (3-0).
