BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Jillian Lachapelle scored her team-leading eighth goal just 27 seconds into the match and the University of New England field hockey team coasted to a 3-0 victory over Wheaton College (Mass.) on Tuesday night (Oct. 12) at Blue Bolt Field.

The Lyons registered their only penalty corner and shot in the latter stages of the 3rd period; UNE had comfortable advantages in shots (18-1) and corners (12-1).

Lindsay Pych needed just that one save for the Nor'easter shutout, and is now up over 152 minutes without conceding a score.

Emma Lapreziosa made four stops in goal for Wheaton, which is in its third year of being guided by former UNE midfielder Brooke Marshall '17.
