ST. MARY’S CITY — Emma Mastrangelo picked the right day for the first multi-goal game of her career.
The senior forward scored both St. Mary’s College of Maryland goals, the second with 4:39 left, as the Seahawks beat Immaculata 2-1 on Senior Day Saturday, Oct. 17, at JLR Stadium. The win lifted St. Mary’s to 7-6 overall and 3-1 in the United East Conference.
Mastrangelo opened the scoring at 22:10 of the second period, finishing a short pass from sophomore Morgan Knott, according to the college’s recap. It held until 46:08, when Immaculata’s Alexis Andrada tied it with her eighth goal of the season.

The winner came off a penalty corner. Sophomore Josie Mascolo, a Leonardtown native, sent the ball in and Mastrangelo deflected it home at 55:21 for her fourth goal of the season. Mascolo, who scored twice in an earlier win this month, finished with four shots and the assist.
St. Mary’s controlled the game by every measure. The Seahawks outshot Immaculata 16-4, put eight shots on goal to the visitors’ three and drew nine penalty corners to one. Senior goalkeeper Caroline McDonald made two saves in a full 60 minutes for her first win of the season, while Immaculata’s Mackenzie Schrack stopped five shots.
