Box Score
MANSFIELD, Conn. – An Eastern Connecticut State University women's soccer team which has struggled to score goals this season found its touch Wednesday afternoon at Rick McCarthy Field, with no less 14 players contributing to the scoring in a 9-0 non-conference victory over out-manned Framingham State University.

The goal total for Eastern  (5-8-2) represents more than half of its number accumulated through the first 14 matches of the season as the Warriors improved to 3-2-2 in their last seven matches on the heels of a season-high three-game losing skid.

Seniors Sara Honold (Wantage, NJ) and Dani Rovalino (Simsbury) collected their first career goals, as did first-year players Sarah Orzolek (Bolton) and Katie Guerin (Thomaston), while five players recorded their first career assists: senior Keira Rogers (Portsmouth, RI), sophomores Emily Dunlea (Attleboro, MA) and Alexia Roy (Bristol), first-year sophomore transfer Madison Peacock (Bolton), and first-year player  Elise Leccese (Amston). Peacock had one goal last fall at King's College.

Junior Lilly Simpson (Norwalk) assisted on the first two goals – Honold's bomb under the crossbar 2:20 into action  and senior Katelyn Herbert's (Bethpage, NY) ground ball which escaped the dive of Framingham (2-13-1) junior keeper Madison Magone 15 minutes later. The goal was the 15^th career one and team-leading seventh of this season for Herbert.

Senior Olivia Mullings (Newington) scored her first two goals of the season while Rogers assisted on the final two goals of the match.

All 28 of the team's healthy roster players saw at least 15 minutes, with ten of the team's 11 starters seeing half or less of the game's 90 minutes.

First-year keeper Alex Ignatowicz (Coventry) and sophomore Kaeden Dublin (Maple Grove, MN) didn't need a save in backstopping the Warriors to their seventh shutout of the year. Eastern outshot the Rams, 33-2 and had an 8-0 advantage in corner kicks.

Eastern (2-2-2 LEC) closes out the regular season with Little East Conference matches at home Saturday at 1 p.m. against the university of Massachusetts Dartmouth (5-8-2, 2-4-0 LEC) and at Massachusetts Boston (9-3-4, 4-1-1 LEC) Nov. 1. The Warriors are in fifth place in the LEC with eight points, two points ahead of UMass Dartmouth and five behind UMass Boston. The top six finishers in the LEC qualify for the LEC playoffs, which get underway No. 5 with first-round matches.
