BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Ashley Lederman scored the first of two goals just 32 seconds into the contest and No.17 Massachusetts Institute of Technology went on to a 5-0 result versus the University of New England in field hockey action Saturday afternoon (Sep. 7) at Blue Bolt Field.

The nationally-ranked Engineers (2-0) led by a couple after nine minutes of play when Janie Thomas got on the board for the visitors. The Nor'easters (2-1) did have four consecutive penalty corners in the latter portion of the 1st quarter, and generated two shot attempts from those moments, but MIT did not allow a shot the rest of the way.

Dawn DeWeese-Moss stacked up 11 saves by the early part of the 4th period, and, with the help of a defensive save from Micaela Jacobs, held the margin at 2-0 inside the final 10 minutes.

Lederman finished with five points for the visitors, while Ingrid Tomovski added a goal and two helpers. Katharina Jager entered late in the match and tallied one goal and one assist. Maeve Zimmer denied the only shot that came on target to record the shutout.

Shots on goal were 18-1 in favor of MIT, and corners wound up at 16-5. DeWeese-Moss closed with 12 stops for the hosts.

UNE will be back in action Tuesday (6 p.m.) against Colby College.
