The Sharks took to the field on Tuesday afternoon in Cambridge, Mass. after recording a 2-0 week, but were unable to move the ball from the Simmons defensive zone and fell to MIT, 20-2. With the loss, Simmons falls to 3-4 overall, 2-2 in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference.

Sophomore attacker Natalie Stever (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) scored Simmons' two goals, with no assists.

Junior goalkeeper Amanda Weaver (Eaton, Ohio) played the entire match and "had her best game to date," said Head Coach Kate Leonard. "Amanda was peppered with shots throughout the game and came up with 17 saves, including a few on point-blank free position shots. She was strong and confident and was the backbone of our team today."

The Sharks look to get back on track with a Saturday, April 11 matchup at Framingham State at 11:00am.
