Salem State Score Two First Half Goals to Get Past Farmington

SALEM, Mass. — The Salem State University women's soccer team, having gone scoreless in their first 180 minutes of the season, broke through with two goals in the first half to secure a 2-0 victory over the University of Maine at Farmington in a non-conference match on Saturday afternoon.

Krysta Zamejtis broke the deadlock with a goal in the 24th minute, assisted by Mitza, giving Salem a 1-0 lead.

The Vikings continued their offensive pressure after the goal, registering three shots on target in the following ten minutes. Farmington's goalkeeper, Gonya, made three crucial saves to keep the game within reach.

Salem extended their lead in the 37th minute when Brenna Paquette scored an unassisted goal, her first of the season, to double the hosts' advantage heading into halftime.
