DUDLEY, Mass. – Senior Sophia Iovino tallied her first goal of the season to lift the JWU (Providence) women's soccer team to its first-ever Conference of New England (CNE) win, a 4-0 shutout of Nichols College Friday afternoon at the Nichols Soccer Field.

Sophomore Kyla Leahy, along with freshmen Chloe Casavant and Emma Potter, each notched their first collegiate goals for the Wildcats, who outshot the Bison 26-7 en route to evening their record at 2-2-1.

Iovino opened the scoring 10:52 into the match before Casavant doubled the JWU lead with a goal off a feed from sophomore Marisa Krosky. In the second half, markers from Leahy and Potter 3:16 apart capped the scoring.

Junior goalkeeper Ava Vaughan registered four saves to pick up her first shutout of 2025 and the second of her career.
