BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Five different players each contributed a pair of goals to help the University of New England women's lacrosse team to a 13-9 win over Castleton University in a non-conference match played in frigid conditions Sunday afternoon (Mar. 5) at the Big Blue Turf.

UNE is now 2-0 on the young season, while Castleton is 0-1.

Castleton was led by a three-goal performance by Hannah Braman.

The Nor'easters led from start-to-finish, scoring the first two goals of the afternoon en route to a 6-2 halftime cushion. The Spartans would get no closer than three the rest of the match.

UNE dominated in ground balls (34-16) and caused turnovers (16-4). Davee scooped up seven ground balls to lead all players, while Jolena Lampron contributed four draw controls and three ground balls.

The Spartans received a match-high nine draw controls from Grace Johnson.
