HOW IT HAPPENED:

Kaitlin Zareno (Montebello, Calif.) sent a pass inside the box to
Mia Sedgwick (Wilmette, Ill.) who lifted the ball just under the crossbar for the score.

Stephanie Howe (Geneva, Ill.) set up the second Engineer score at 4:12 as she sent in a perfect kick to
Kayla Villa (St. Charles, Ill.) who knocked the ball into the back of the net.

Sarah Moseson (Morristown, N.J.) at 25:55 to give MIT a 3-0 lead.
- At 31:30
Lexi Spinetta (Austin, Texas) got past the Lyons defense and put the ball in the back of the net to make it a 4-0 contest.
- The Engineers kept the pressure on in the second half, but Mount Holyoke keeper,
Shannon Breen made many great saves to keep it a four-goal game.
