Senior Meaghan Arsenault (Methuen, Mass.), junior Jenn La Comfora (Worcester, Mass.), and sophomores Kelly Dolyak (Cheshire, Conn.) and Emily Zeimetz (Rochester, N.H.) combined for eight of UNE's 10 individual wins on the day. First-years Sam Briggs (Oakland, Maine) and Rachael Romain (Rockford, Mich.) recorded the other two wins over the hosts.
