Wayland Athlete Helps Women's Soccer Team to Another Championship

Natalie Shear of Wayland is a member of the Colby-Sawyer Women’s Soccer team that earned a third straight North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Championship on Saturday, Nov. 7. Shear majors in Exercise Science and is a member of the class of 2018.

The first half was a battle of field position as each side tried to possess the ball. There were just five total shots taken in the first 45 minutes with most of the action coming in the middle third of the pitch. The offense turned up in the second half with a total of 18 shots taken. Each side had a couple of nice scoring opportunities but the goalies were up to the task until Colby-Sawyer broke through late in the game.

The Chargers (13-3-2) will make a trip to the NCAA tournament for the third time in school history.

The NAC is an athletic conference, affiliated with the NCAA’s Division III, consisting primarily of small liberal arts colleges throughout New England, including: Castleton State College, Colby-Sawyer College, University of Maine at Farmington, Green Mountain College, Husson University, Johnson State College, Lyndon State College, Maine Maritime Academy, New England College, Thomas College.
