CHESTERTOWN, Md. – The No. 13 Swarthmore College women's soccer team recorded its 11^th shutout of the season with a 2-0 win at Washington College on Wednesday night. With the victory, the Garnet secured the Centennial Conference regular season title and the top seed in the upcoming conference tournament.
 
Swarthmore scored once in each half with Lillian Jarmosevich and Jordan Vrees each netting their second goal of the season. It is the second straight contest in which Vrees has found the back of the cage. Dahlia Bedward and Lila Travers combined for the clean sheet with each goalkeeper registering one save.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
- Ava Gizzie nearly broke the ice just over three minutes into the contest with a rocket of a shot from just inside the box. However, the Shorewomen goalie made a diving save to her right to keep the game scoreless.
 
- Swarthmore posted five more shots before finally getting on the board in the 38^th minute. The Garnet were awarded a corner kick but Washington was able to clear the ball to the top of the box. Aminah Evans beat a defender to the loose ball and passed back to Jarmosevich. The rookie fired a shot from 30 yards just under the bar, and out of the reach of the leaping goalkeeper, into the upper left corner for a 1-0 lead.
 
- In the second half, the Shorewomen nearly produced the equalizer twice in a flurry of a sequence in the 54^th minute. An attempt from the top of the box eluded a leaping Bedward but rang off the crossbar. The rebound bounced back to a Washington attacker, whose second effort went just wide of the upper left corner and Swarthmore remained in front.
 
- The Garnet tallied a key insurance goal in the 62^nd minute. Gizzie dribbled down the right side of the field and shielded the ball from a defender hot on their heels. Swarthmore's leading goal-scorer then centered for Vrees, who also fought off a defender to get her foot on the pass and knock it into the goal for a 2-0 advantage.
 
- Charlotte Carleton was close to upping the margin to three in the 66^th minute with a clear path in the box. However, the goalie was able to come out to cut off the angle and turned aside the attempt.
