The Lead: After a scoreless first quarter, No. 20 MIT found the back of the cage in each of the remaining frames en route to a 3-0 victory over the University of New England in a non-conference field hockey game on Saturday afternoon. Senior
Paige Forester (Glencoe, Ill.) recorded a goal and an assist while first-year
Bailey McIntyre (Concord, Mass.) earned a pair of assists for the Engineers.
Â
HOW IT HAPPENED:
Â
- Forester opened the scoring when she connected on a feed from McIntyre following a penalty corner just over five minutes into the second quarter. In the 35th minute, McIntyre set up first-year
Marissa Liu (Chesterfield, Mo.) for her first intercollegiate marker. Senior
Erica Radler (Wayne, N.J.) provided the final goal when redirected Forester's strike just as it was crossing the goal line with 4:07 left to play.
Â

- Sophomore goalie
Anna Duncan (St. Louis, Mo.) made two saves in the first shutout of her career.
