HOW IT HAPPENED:
- MIT took a quick lead early in the first half on goals from Groff and Rowlett. Rowlett sent a pass into Groff who converted for her second goal of the year in the eighth minute. Just 75 seconds later Rowlett made it a two-score game on an unassisted goal.

INSIDE THE NUMBERS:
- Senior goaltenders Lauren Castle (Ridgefield, Conn.) and Ava Gillikin (Flemington, NJ) combined for the shutout. Castle notched her first win on the season as she made one first-half save.
 
- Groff now has three goals on the season to give her 44 for her career, which ranks third all-time in program history. The program record is 52 held by Amy Ludlum. Her 108 points place her fourth all-time in team history.
 
- Rowlett and Groff are tied for the team lead with six points each.
 
- Head coach Martin Desmarais is just three wins shy of 200 career victories.
 
- MIT outshot the Bears 23-2 and held a 7-2 edge in corner kicks.
