BIDDEFORD — The University of New England women’s soccer team received goals from five different players – including four in the second half – on its way to a 5-1 non-conference win over Saint Joseph’s College in a mutual opener played Tuesday at Barbara J. Hazard Field.

Senior Kayla Hamel, who is from Lewiston, tallied the lone goal of the first half, picking up a loose ball at the top of the box and drilling a shot into the net. Junior Devon Wolfenden was credited with an assist on the play in the 25th minute.

The Nor’easters took that 1-0 advantage into intermission despite leading 13-1 shots over the opening 45 minutes.

UNE doubled its lead just 3:32 into the second half. Junior Jessica Meader, a Scarborough native, sent a beautiful cross from the left flank into the front of the goal mouth, where senior Jackie Dickerson redirected it with her body into the goal. Wolfenden started the scoring bid and was awarded a secondary assist.

The Nor’easters then scored three times over a span of 11:25 to put the match away. Sophomore Becca Murphy tallied in the 71st minute, junior Anna Michaud in the 80th, and first-year Miracle Trimble completed UNE’s scoring with 8:25 on the clock. Rookie Taylor Usko set-up Murphy’s goal, and Michaud added a helper on Trimble’s.

Senior Hannah LeBlanc prevented the Monks from getting shut out in the final minute, converting a low shot from the top of the box just inside the left post off a pass from freshman Haley DaGraca, who is from Saco.

Junior goalkeeper Brielle Robinson earned the victory with two saves over the opening 79:09 for UNE. Rookie Emily Ashman played the final 10:51 in goal for the Nor’easters, who finished with a 27-11 advantage in shots.

St. Joe’s sophomore Brooke Troup stopped eight shots in 70:10 of action before giving way to senior Michelle Cunha, who recorded three saves.

Both teams return to action this weekend. The Monks face Newbury College (at Husson University) on Saturday at 1:30 p.m., and UNE plays at UMaine Farmington on Sunday at 2 p.m.
