BIDDEFORD, Me. -- Five different players scored goals Tuesday afternoon as the 11th-ranked Amherst College women's hockey team skated to a 5-2 win over host University of New England at the Harry Alfond Forum. 

Kate Pohl, Marie-Eve Marleau, Maeve Reynolds, and Emily Hohmann each had a goal and assist in the victory, which improved Amherst to 2-1-0 on the season. The Mammoths are off until Sunday the 27th when they travel to Purchase, N.Y. to take on Manhattanville College at 3 p.m.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS: 

* Hohmann put Amherst up 1-0 in the first period with a goal that came with 10:53 to go. She received a pass at the left point and let fly with a shot that beat the Nor'easters goalie to the bottom right. 

* The game was tied 1-1 after a period. Carley Daly nearly gave the Mammoths a lead twice early in the second stanza but was turned aside each time by UNE goalie Delanie Corcoran. With 9:37 left in the period, Mary Thompson won the puck in the left corner of the UNE zone, she pushed it behind the net where Marleau picked it, kept possession while getting by a Nor'easter defender, and slid the puck into the slot where Jayna Park was waiting. Park fired a quick shot past Corcoran for a 2-1 lead.

* Amherst put the game away with a three-goal third period, the first two goals coming early in the frame and only 1:41 apart. Some pinpoint passing put the first goal of the period on the board. Reynolds skated the puck into the UNE zone and maintained possession until her teammates got into place. A pass to Hohmann at the left point was quickly sent to Leslie Schwartz at the right. Schwartz found Pohl stationed alone at the bottom of the left circle, and Pohl lifted a wrist shot over the shoulder of Corcoran for a 3-1 advantage. 

* Schwartz set up the next goal by poke-checking a puck away from a Nor'easter at the Mammoths' blue line, then sliding a pass through another UNE player right onto the stick of Marleau, who skated into the UNE zone, cut across the slot and fired a shot off Corcoran's arm and into the net for a 4-1 lead with 15:51 remaining in the game. 

* Just over a minute after UNE notched a power-play goal to make it 4-2, Amherst struck again. Corcoran got a glove on a shot by Pohl, but the shot's momentum carried it toward the goal, where tapped it home. 

BY THE NUMBERS:

* Amherst had a whopping 49-16 advantage in shots for the game. Mammoth goalie Natalie Stott made 14 saves, while Corcoran had 44 for the Nor'easters. 

* Schwartz had two assists for Amherst, as did Rylee Glennon.
