BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Claire Collins scored four tries to power the Harvard University Crimson to a 54-0 victory over the University of New England in a women's rugby match played in front of a standing-room-only crowd of more than 400 spectators Saturday afternoon (Sept. 17) at Barbara J. Hazard Field.

The match was the first intercollegiate varsity home contest for the Nor'easters (1-1). The Crimson have won both of their outings.

Akweley Okine added a pair of tries for Harvard, which led 17-0 at the break but wore the Nor'easters down in the final 40 minutes. Delia Hollender, Caitlin Weigel, Emily Prentice and Jenny Cronish each chipped in one try.

UNE will travel to Dartmouth College next Saturday for a 3 p.m. match.
