Box Score
ORONO, Maine – The No. 15 UMass field hockey team scored at least one goal in each quarter in downing Maine 7-0 on Sunday to wrap up an impressive 2-0 start to the season. Freshman Amber Fairon was the story offensively, scoring her first four career goals and adding an assist for nine points on the afternoon.

Fairon became the first UMass player to record a hat trick since Antonet Louw had a program-record five goals against Northeastern on Oct. 19, 2018. Fairon's four goals are tied for the second most in a game in program history while her nine points are also most by a Minutewoman since Louw that day.

UMass opened the scoring in the seventh minute. On a fast break, Emily Barrett found Fairon in the middle before Isla Campbell fired the ball into the back of the net for the 1-0 lead.

Fairon continued to dominate from there, scoring four consecutive goals. The first came via a direct shot off a corner with less than two minutes left in the first quarter. Midway through the second quarter, Fairon made a tremendous move towards the circle, through defenders, before firing a reverse into the back of the net for a highlight-reel goal.

Fairon then gave the Minutewomen a 4-0 halftime lead with three seconds remaining in the half.

Another direct shot off a corner from Fairon gave UMass a 5-0 lead early in the third quarter.

The Minutewomen added two fourth-quarter goals, from McKenzie and Cara Falconer. Both were reverses from near the top of the circle to give UMass a 7-0 lead, which proved to be the final.

Final shots were 22-6 in favor of UMass while the Minutewomen held a 6-4 edge in penalty corners. Facing her former team, goalkeeper Rozárie Mrázová didn't face a shot on goal in the first half. Coleen Conlan played the final 30 minutes and made three stops. A pair of Maine goalkeepers combined for 11 saves.

The Minutewomen return to action on Friday when they host Boston University at 4 p.m. for their home opener.
