Northeastern's four seniors made the most out of Senior Day at Sweeney Field. Co-captain Liane Dixon scored three goals and assisted on four as Northeastern beat UMBC 7-0 in an America East contest on Sunday. Co-captain Mari Creatini went off for a pair of goals and Alli Bolster had an assist.
Senior goalie Diana Nelson made two saves for the win and Northeastern posted its fifth-straight shutout. The Huskies have not allowed a goal in over 407 minutes, since UMass' Caitlin Beresin scored at 57:16 Oct. 3.
Dixon's four assists tie her with five others for the Northeastern record for assists in a game. The Huskies improve to 14-2 with the win and move into the lead of the America East standings with a 4-0 league record. UMBC drops to 4-11 on the season and 0-5 in conference play.
"A 7-0 win is a great score. UMBC is a good team and they made it hard for us today," said Husky head coach Cheryl Murtagh. "I'd like to see us keep to our passing game and our team defense a little bit more. We need to execute on our penalty corners. We're going to need those down the road. But a 7-0 win made it a good Senior Day."
About NU's four seniors, Murtagh added, "they've been great all year long and they're special. They are good leaders of this team. They don't dominate with their personalities. In their own ways they get help from their teammates and that's what I like about them. They're not trying to do it on their own."
UMBC took the first shot of the game, which Nelson dispatched, but didn't get much offense generated thereafter.
Creatini scored the first goal of the game with an assist from Dixon at 7:03 in the first half. Ashley Webber made it 2-0 when she took a pass from Dixon and beat sprawling Retriever goalie Meghan Polek for the score at 20:44.
With Whitney Shean and Dixon both in front of Polek, Dixon handed the ball off to Shean, who slid past Polek's right side. That made it 3-0 at 34:44 and the Huskies took that score into halftime.
After assisting on all three first-half goals, Dixon netted one of her own at 49:07. She took a pass from Webber and ran through the UMBC defense to get the shot off. Minutes later, Dixon started a penalty corner. Bolster stopped ball and Lauren Edelmeier shot it back to Dixon, who tipped it past Polek.
Less than a minute later, Dixon set up Creatini for a goal at 53:48 to make it 6-0. The Husky offense wasn't done yet, however, as Dixon carved up the Retriever defense once more to net an unassisted goal at 56:52.
The Huskies square off against Boston University next Sunday. BU is 3-0 in America East play. The game begins at 1 p.m. at Jack Barry Field in Cambridge.
