New England College doubled its lead to 2-0 in the 12th minute. Emily LePage netted her team-leading 12th goal of the season as she smashed a left-footed shot into the right side of the cage off of an assist by Pomeroy.

The home team attempted four shots in the first frame while the Pilgrims produced 13 shots.

New England College tacked on a goal in the 53rd minute to widen the gap to 3-0. LePage headed home her 13th tally of the year and second of the night as Delaney Dupuis served a corner kick into the box.

The Pilgrims chalked up a score in the 71st minute to stretch the margin to 4-0. Pomeroy slotted a shot into the lower right corner on a breakaway to collect her second marker of the game and seventh of the season.
