Leicester, Mass. – Nichols College scored three first half goals on their way to an 8-0 win over Becker College in field hockey action today at Alumni Field. Nichols picks up their first win of the season, 1-0 while Becker drops to 0-2.

Emily Widdison (Greenfield, Mass.) made it 2-0 just a minute and a half later with a 15 yard score from the top of the circle.

Barbara Roy (Springfield, Mass.) scored the next two goals for Nichols. Corriea and Widdison both added second-half goals.

Becker goaltender Nakita Gosselin made eight saves in the loss. Nichols’ goalkeepers Krista-Jean Forand (Plymouth, Mass.) and Emily Cornacchio (Salem, Mass.) earned the shutout.
