AMHERST, Mass. – Sophomore forward Morgan Bellamy scored the game-winning goal to give the University of Massachusetts women's soccer team a 2-1 victory at Rudd Field on Sunday afternoon.

The Minutewomen recorded the game-tying goal quick in the second half, as Bloom notched her first career goal. Traber dribbled the ball around a Harvard defender in the 18-yard box, before passing it around to the middle of the box to Bloom.

Bellamy made it a 2-1 game, putting UMass on top, in the 59th minute. A Massachusetts corner taken by Bloom was headed down by Bellamy.
