MANSFIELD, Conn. – Four freshmen scored their first career goals and freshman Lindsay Fishman (South Windsor) tied the program game record with three assists as the Eastern Connecticut State University women's soccer team scored three goals in the first seven minutes of the second half in a 6-0 Little East Conference victory over the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Sunday afternoon at Rick McCarthy Field.
 
Freshmen Victoria Roman (Mexico City) and Fabiola Millien-Faustin (Stratford) scored first-half goals and freshmen Ashlyn Rogers (Portsmouth, RI) and Fishman made it 4-0 in the first two minutes of the second half before sophomore Juliette Hogan's (Preston) third career goal soon after upped the lead to 5-0. Junior Carlie Dreyfus (Stafford Springs) closed out the scoring with nine minutes left with her fourth career goal. Millien-Faustin, Fishman and Rogers all came off the bench.

In addition to scoring her first career goal, Fishman tied program records for assists in a game -- with three -- and consecutive Eastern goals with a point -- with four. She became the third freshman in program history with three assists in a match, joining Jen Savastano in 1992 and Kelly Wallace in 2009.

Playing 60 minutes, Fishman assisted on Millien-Faustin's goal that made it 2-0 late in the first half, assisted on Rogers' goal four minutes into the second half, scored an unassisted goal in the 51st minute, and assisted on Hogan's goal that made it 5-0 in the 56th minute.
 
Roman gave Eastern the early lead midway through the first half when she beat a couple of defenders on the right side; Millien-Faustin made it 2-0 1:35 before the half when she cleaned up Fishman's corner kick which deflected off Eastern freshman Madison Wilcox (Mansfield) in the box. Rogers made it 3-0 less than four minutes into the second half when she sent Fishman's pass in the middle into the upper right-hand corner of the net; Fishman's first career goal banged off the left post following a UMD turnover that made it 4-0; and Hogan's goal came off a Fishman's corner kick that deflected off a number of players that upped the lead to 5-0.
 
Senior Nina Langton (Bolton) was credited with her second career assist she she set up Dreyfus' first goal of the year with nine minutes left.
 
Eastern (1-1, 1-0 LEC) stretches its unbeaten streak against UMass (1-2, 1-2 LEC) to 25 (24-0-1) with its tenth straight victory in the series.
 
Eastern finished with a 19-4 advantage in shots and freshman Rachel Hughes (Columbia) made two saves for her first career win in her first career start (second appearance). Senior Jaimee O'Brien  stopped five shots for the Corsairs.
 
With Eastern leading 6-0, Hughes preserved the shutout with 5:25 left when she stopped junior midfielder Jillian Prout's penalty kick – awarded on an Eastern takedown on a UMD breakaway -- then recovered to make a second save on Prout's rebound attempt. They were Hughes' only two saves of the match.
 
Down 2-0 at halftime the Corsairs nearly cut the deficit in half when senior defender Haley Dupre unloaded a long free kick from inside her of her own half of the field that sailed just high of the crossbar.
 
Eastern visits Plymouth State University Thursday at 4 p.m. in a conference match.
