Miller sets scoring record

Kayley Miller has 114 career points, two points shy of Westfield’s all-time record.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Senior standout Kayley Miller of Ludlow scored two goals and set the school single-season scoring record to power the undefeated Westfield State University women’s soccer team to a 6-0 victory over Rhode Island College in a non-conference game yesterday afternoon.
Westfield is now 14-0-1 as it set a school record for consecutive victories in a season with 10. The Owls re-set a school record by registering their seventh consecutive shutout; they have allowed just six goals in 14 games.

In addition, Miller is one shy of Westfield’s single season record for goals (Gearin scored 19 goals in 2009) and two points shy of the career scoring record. Miller has 114 career points, trailing Sandy Pinto (Class of 1998), a Ludlow native who is being inducted in the Westfield State Athletics Hall of Fame this Friday.
Miller also ranks fifth nationally with eight game-winning goals this season.

McGregor is Westfield’s second leading scorer with 29 points (9 goals, 11 assists) and moved into 10th place on the Owls’ all-time scoring list with 70 points.
