THE LEAD: Nine different Corsairs picked up points as the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth submitted a team effort in its 18-11 triumph over host Emmanuel College on Saturday afternoon at Clemente Field.

HOW IT HAPPENED

UMass Dartmouth senior Leah Douty (Framingham, Mass.) collected a game-high nine points in the victory, with classmate Erin Kish (Littleton, Mass.) grabbing her sixth straight hat-trick alongside two assists. Junior Angela Correia (Bridgewater, Mass.) nabbed her first-career hat-trick on an efficient three shots, going perfect in each of her tries.

After EC sophomores Kylie Rice (Bethlehem, Conn.) and Allison Hutchings (Billerica, Mass.) matched the pair of scores by Douty in the initial seven minutes of action, the visiting assembly of sophomore Sam Muir (Sturbridge, Mass.), seniors Raquel Riley (Wakefield, Mass.), Kish and Douty powered the squad to a 6-0 run to push ahead by a score of 8-2. Correia joined the scoring club with her fourth and fifth goals of the season to bookend another by Kish, placing the squad up 11-4.

A pair of goals by Rice and three straight by Hutchings bookended markers by Muir and Correia in the second half, but UMass Dartmouth's advantageous margin stand firm through the final whistle for the non-conference triumph.
