Junior midfielder Colleen McClay (Mahopac, N.Y.) extended the lead to 2-0, dribbling through the UMBC defense and firing a shot into the goal at 6:36 in the first half.
Off a feed from sophomore midfielder Amy Seaman (Camp Hill, Pa.), freshman forward Sarah Shute (Lincolnville, Maine) pushed the lead to 3-0 with a goal with 2:47 left in the first half.
