Nicole Matarozzo put one in from the left side 57 seconds later off a feed from Brooke Marshall on a penalty corner play near the top of the arc.
The hosts increased the margin to 3-0 with less than a minute left in the first half when Matarozzo slipped a leading pass around the last defender to Abbey Rouillard in the circle for a drive into the cage.
Matarozzo netted another goal in the 51st minute, making a 30-yard run past the back line and around the goalie to guide it into the net.
Western New England broke up the shutout bid with less than seven minutes remaining as Emily Antinozzi moved up the right side on a break and drilled a shot just inside the near post from the edge of the circle.
