WESTFIELD, Mass. –   Playing their third game in four days and 500 miles, the Westfield State women's soccer team fell to the University of New England, 4-0, in Biddeford, Maine on Monday.

The Owls (1-1-1) had played a pair of games in the Cougar Classic in Union, N.J. on Friday and Saturday, before turning the bus northward.

Senior Meredith Kennedy factored in three goals for the Nor'easters.

The UNE (3-0) back line held strong once again as the hosts recorded their third consecutive shutout to begin the season.

Hannah Cottis put back a rebound off a shot by Kennedy to start the scoring the 17th minute. Lizzie Frattaroli corralled a lofting pass inside the box and tapped it to Kennedy for a marker later in the half as the Nor'easters extended the lead to 2-0.  Tori Keyes made it 3-0 Nor'easters at the half with a goal in the final minute. She ran through several Owls' defenders on the way to her team-leading third score of the year.

The Nor'easters outshot the Owls 17-9 overall, including a 12-4 margin on goal.  Lauryn Davis stopped seven shots for the Owls, with Sarah Fuller adding one save in relief.

The Owls are off until Saturday, September 11, when they will be back in action with a game against the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in the Drew Fall Festival Tournament in Madison, N.J.
