The Nor'easters continue to sit atop the conference standings, upping their CCC ledger to 5-0 while improving to 9-3 overall. Western New England falls to 3-9-2 (1-3-1 CCC).
UNE got the game-winning goal in the 32nd minute when Jessica Meader headed home a cross from the right corner by Brionne Turcotte. Taylor Littlefield got the play going and was credited with a secondary assist. The goal pushed Meader's team-leading total to six.
The Nor'easters doubled their lead early in the second half. Anna Michaud fed Jackie Dickerson at the top of the box, and Dickerson drove a shot from just left-of-center into the net for her fourth marker.
UNE controlled play much of the afternoon, building a 20-6 advantage in shots and 5-2 margin in corner kicks. Brielle Robinson needed just two saves to register the shutout.
Briana Kubik was busy in goal for Western New England, totaling nine stops.
Both teams are back in action next week with mid-week road games. UNE faces the University of Southern Maine Tuesday (3:30 p.m.) and the Golden Bears take on Westfield State University Wednesday (7 p.m.).
