BIDDEFORD, Maine -- Five players registered goals as the University of New England cruised past Maine Maritime Academy, 8-0, in non-conference women's soccer action Saturday afternoon from Barbara J. Hazard Field.

Sophomore Lauren Blaisdell (Scarborough, Maine), first-year Alex Wells (Franconia, N.H.), and junior Sarah Richardson (Rochester, N.H.) each tallied a pair of scores to pace the Nor'easters (1-0), who defeated the Mariners for the third consecutive meeting between the teams.

First-years Ellie Arsenault (Saco, Maine) and Morgan Humphreys (Rocky Hill, Conn.) accounted for the other goals. Classmate Amanda Vaudreuil (Windham, N.H.) set up two the goals, and junior Alice Read had one assist.

Arsenault got things started with an unassisted goal in the 31st minute, and by halftime the lead was 3-0.

UNE found the back of the net five times after intermission, and finished the contest with a 38-5 advantage in shots.

Junior goalkeeper Jess Woodworth (Concord, N.H.) made four saves for the Nor'easters in 65+ minutes before giving way to first-year Sam Guyette (Newport, Vt.), who did not face a shot.

Senior Lacey Jackson (York, Pa.) posted 10 saves for the Maine Maritime (0-1), which hosts North Atlantic Conference foe UMaine Farmington on Sunday.

UNE returns to action Wednesday, when the University of Southern Maine visits at 7 p.m. for a non-conference match.
