With the victory, the Owls improved to 9-4 overall and remain undefeated in LEC play at 7-0, while the Lancers fell to 7-6 and 3-4 in conference.

Habelow rounded out the scoring for Keene State as she blasted a feed from Brittney Cardente and Marita Brothers past the reach of the Worcester State goalkeeper for her sixth tally of the year at 43:44.
Meghan Pini had the best chance for the Lancers with 8:16 remaining in the game when her shot trickled just wide of the Owls goalpost.
