Sophomore Rachel Hopkins (Chelmsford, Mass.) gave Worcester State a 3-0 edge in the 57th minute on a feed from Parent, who closed out the scoring just over five minutes later after converting a pass from Antonelli.
Freshman Jess Hopkins (Chelmsford, Mass.) collected the shutout triumph in goal by making a pair of saves for Worcester State, while senior Allison Burke (Franklin, Mass.) made 13 stops in net in the setback for the host Corsairs (2-14, 1-9 LEC).
