CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The No. 4 MIT women's soccer team, the top seed in the NEWMAC Tournament, scored three second-half goals to earn a 3-0 win over eighth-seeded Springfield in the quarterfinals on Tuesday night at Roberts Field. 

THE BASICS 

• Score: MIT 3, Springfield 0 
• Records: No. 5 MIT (18-2-1 Overall), Springfield (5-12-1 Overall) 

HOW IT HAPPENED: 

• After a scoreless first half, in which MIT outshot the Pride 10-0, the Engineers finally broke through early in the second half. 
• Andrea Cummings had her shot blocked, but the rebound came back to Skye Williams, who sent a pass to Claire Zhang. Zhang deflected the ball into the net at 62:12 to put MIT on the board. 
• Off a corner kick from Madeline Seebeck, Arianna Doss flicked the ball into the corner of the goal with her back heel at 63:33.
