- The Lead: A pair of goals in the third quarter helped propel No. 12 MIT to a 4-0 victory over Wellesley College in NEWMAC field hockey action on Saturday afternoon.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
- Following a scoreless first quarter, senior Paige Forester (Glencoe, Ill.) put MIT on the board in the 24^th minute. After intercepting a pass on the far sideline, she charged the cage and drew goalie Kyra Deehr-Lewis off her line. Deehr-Lewis slid to the ground; however, Forester dribbled around her and lifted the ball to the near post.
 
- The Engineers increased their lead in the 36th minute when sophomore Alice Zehner (Gladwyne, Pa.) sent a feed to first-year Bailey McIntyre (Concord, Mass.) who one-timed it to the near post. Exactly 1:50 later, MIT's advantage grew to 3-0. After dodging several defenders, McIntyre hit the ball from the top of the arc through traffic and senior Erica Radler (Wayne, N.J.) tipped it in at the far post.
 
- The visitors capped the scoring with 7:45 left to play. In transition, Forester sent a hard pass from the near endline which was collected by first-year Marisa Montione (Charlotte, N.C.) inside the top of the arc. Montione then struck the ball to the far post for her second goal of the season.
 
INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
 
- Senior Kiely Smiga-McManus (Etna, N.H.) and sophomore Anna Duncan (St. Louis, Mo.) split the game in net as they both recorded a save.
 
- The Engineers registered their seventh shutout of the year and their fourth against NEWMAC opponents.
