THE BASICS:

HOW IT HAPPENED:

- First year Dilin Meloni (Needham, Mass.) sent a cross-field pass to a waiting Robinson who got the ball past a diving Noah Lawless at 24:02 to give the Engineers a 2-0 advantage.
 
- Wentworth looked to get on the board on a scoring chance from Jacob Dukeshire but his shot was turned away by first year Hernando Ardila (Miramar, Fla.).
 
- The Engineers doubled their lead with goals just over two minutes apart. First year Nico Mangiafico (Farmington, Conn.) got a pass from senior James Simon (Ann Arbor, Mich.) in front of the goal and tallied his second goal of the year at 53:25. Robinson then added his second goal of the day on a header off a Meloni pass.
 
- Robinson sent a pass off a free kick into graduate student Peter Novoa (Omaha, Neb.) for the header goal at 66:03 to make it a 5-0 MIT lead.
 
- Senior Zachary Zhang (Bellevue, Wash.) wrapped up the scoring for MIT with a diving goal off a pass from sophomore Ethan Reich (New York, N.Y.) at 75:15 as the Engineers claimed the 6-0 win.
