- The MIT defense and goalie junior Ava Gillikin (Flemington, N.J.) made the lead stand up as the Ephs were shut out for the second day in a row and fourth time this season. It is the eighth shutout win off the year for the Engineers.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
- Gillikin made four saves in net to earn the win for the Engineers, while Chelsea Taylor turned aside four shots for the Ephs in the loss.
 
- Overall, the Ephs outshot the Engineers by a 10-9 margin and held a slight 5-3 advantage in corner kicks.
