SALEM, Mass. (Oct. 20, 2026) – The UMass Boston Beacons women's soccer team (5-5-5) had quality chances throughout, but settled for a 0-0 draw against the Salem State Vikings (2-7-5) in a non-conference match on Tuesday evening at Alumni Field.
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Early shots from
Camryn Trick (Sammamish, Wash.) and

Adel Wells (Austin, Texas) denied two Vikings' chances in the late stages of the first half as things remained scoreless.
UMass Boston recorded a total of 14 shots in the second half and perhaps the best chance came in the 72
nd minute when a shot from
Lorelai Leddy (West Greenwich, R.I.) rang off the crossbar. Both goalies stood tall in the final 45 minutes as Wells tallied three saves for the Beacons and Wilson made seven for the Vikings in the scoreless draw.
BEYOND THE BOX SCORE:
Wells made her first career start and posted the clean sheet with five saves across 90 minutes of action.
Head coach
