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
