BIDDEFORD, Maine -- The University of New England established a three-goal first-half advantage and cruised to a 4-0 victory over Husson University in non-conference women's soccer action Wednesday evening (Sept. 7) at Barbara J. Hazard Field.

The win pushes the Nor'easters' early-season record to 2-0, while Husson drops to 1-2.

UNE, which has outscored its opponents 10-1 thus far, received first-half goals from Taylor Littlefield Langevin, Jessica Meader and Ashley Sherman. Littlefield Langevin knocked home a rebound of her own shot that was intially saved less than five minutes in, before Meader converted a header off a beautiful service from the right flank by Edie Pallozzi less than minutes minutes later. Sherman capped the first-half scoring in the 40th minute on a rebound after Lizzie Sullivan had a shot that was denied.

Pallozzi notched the lone goal of the second frame, receiving a pass from Brionne Turcotte in the center of the field and taking a few touches before drilling home a shot into the right side of the goal.

The Nor'easters controlled play the entire match, establishing significant advantages in shots (33-8) and corner kicks (9-4). Brielle Robinson played the opening 79:10 in goal and recorded three stops before being relieved by Emily Ashman, who finished off the shutout.

Kayla Gordon had a busy evening in goal for the Eagles, totaling 15 saves.

UNE opens Commonwealth Coast Conference play Saturday at Western New England University (12 p.m.). Husson will host Colby College on Sunday for a 1 p.m. kick-off.
