MANSFIELD, Conn.—Senior Morgan Krauss (Belmont, Mass.) scored one goal and assisted on another and classmate Morgan Fedosiewich (Ottawa, Ontario) made two saves in goal as Babson College shut out Eastern Connecticut, 3-0, in a non-conference women's soccer match Saturday afternoon at Rick McCarthy Field.

With the win, Babson improved to 4-0 on the season, matching its best start to the season since the 2015 squad won its first four games. Eastern Conn. suffered its first loss and falls to 1-1-1.

Graduate students Izzy Lynch (Niskayuna, N.Y.) and Claire Middlebrook (Ridgefield, Conn.) also scored goals for the Beavers, and junior Natalie Knauf (Point Pleasant, N.J.) and first-year Meredith Greeley (Ottawa Hills, Ohio) picked up assists. Fedosiewich posted her second shutout of the season and 17th of her career.

Eastern junior keeper Emily Wallace (Smithtown, N.Y.) had a busy day between the pipes and made nine saves in the setback.

Outshooting the hosts 8-1 in the opening 45 minutes, the Beavers scored the only goal of the first half in the 31st minute. Krauss took a throw-in from the right side deep in Warrior territory, and Lynch took the toss, turned and chipped a shot over an approaching defender that sailed over the reach of Wallace into the top left corner of the goal. Lynch has scored in all four Beaver games this season and has a team-leading five goals.

Babson extended its lead to 2-0 early in the second half on a header by Krauss right in front of the goal on a centering pass from Knauf from the left corner. The Green and White tacked on their final goal in the 77th minute when Middlebrook put home a header to convert a corner kick from Greeley for Middlebrook's first collegiate tally.

The Beavers finished with a 12-2 advantage in shots on goal and had a 10-1 margin in corner kicks.

Babson returns home for its next two games, beginning Wednesday against UMass Boston on the turf at MacDowell Field at 6 p.m. Eastern Conn. plays its next three games on the road, beginning Tuesday at Trinity at 6 p.m.
