BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Anna Stowell tallied five goals for the University of New England Nor'easters, who had 12 players find the scoring column in a 20-4 Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) women's lacrosse victory over Wentworth Institute of Technology on Tuesday afternoon (Apr. 11) at the Big Blue Turf.

With the win UNE climbed over the .500 mark to 7-6, while improving its conference mark to 4-1. The Leopards fell to 2-10 overall and are winless in six CCC matches.

Jocelyn Davee scored three times for the Nor'easters, and Nichole Carvalho and Megann Pelletier each notched a pair of goals. Pelletier recorded her first career collegiate tally, as did Shania Clark, Mackenzie Millikan and Emma Ewald -- joining a group of eight players with a goal apiece. Natasha Nary had a goal and three assists to register four points.

Brooke Paradis had a pair of goals, and Kaitlyn Darveau and Leah Cummins one each to account for the Leopards' scoring output.

Leading 9-3 at intermission, UNE put the game out of reach early in the second frame, scoring eight times in the initial 12:14. Stowell and Davee combined for five of those goals.

The Nor'easters held sizeable margins in shots (39-18) and draw controls (19-7) and were successful on 17 of 23 clearing attempts. Bohunsky had five ground balls to lead UNE and was one of three Nor'easters (O'Grady and Kimberly Gosselin) with four draw controls. Jolena Lampron caused three turnovers for UNE, which received six saves from goalkeeper Maritza Nary.

Natalie Wood finished with five ground balls for Wentworth, while Paradis contributed four draw controls. Cummins and Sam Webb had three caused turnovers apiece. Liz Gunning totaled 10 stops in goal.

Wentworth will play a non-conference road game at New England College tomorrow. UNE has a long layoff before resuming action next Wednesday with a CCC match at Gordon College.
