Salem, Mass—The Salem State Lady Vikings scored four first-half goals, and shut-out the Hawks of Becker College for seventy-minutes to cruise to a 4-0 victory on Tuesday afternoon at Alumni Field.

Kathleen Clark (Southboro, MA) led her team to victory with two goals in the game to help Salem State improve to 3-1 on the year while Becker College (0-4) lost their fourth straight to open the season.

Clark opened the scoring early in the first half when she blasted a shot into the back of the net off an assist from Lauren Pazdziorny (Middleton, MA).  Nicole Bisbee (Templeton, MA) scored the team's second goal with an assist from Stephanie Morrison (Beverly, MA) at 16:31 to give the Lady Vikings a two-goal lead. Clark scored again off a pass from Paige McNickol (Marlboro, MA) four minutes later, before Kadye McCarthy (Oxford, MA) put Salem State up 4-0 with her second goal of the season just before the half ended. Gianna Bisceglia (Worcester, MA) was credited with the assist.

The Vikings controlled possession in the second half, registering 11 of their game-high 29 shots after halftime. Starting goalie Michaela Boyer (South Hadley, Mass.) and back-up goaltender Elizabeth Burke (West Bridgewater, Mass.) combined for Salem State's first shutout of the year.

Samantha Jo-Dikes (Little Falls, NJ) took the loss for the Hawks as she and reserve goalie Gabrielle Gallo (Northport, NY) combined for 18 saves.
