How It Happened
Playing a day later than originally anticipated due to rain and unplayable field conditions Tuesday, the hosting Mammoths ran their winning streak in the all-time series to 11 consecutive games, rebounding from a 3-1 loss to defending national champion and top-ranked Middlebury College this past weekend.  KSC goalkeeper Clara Gorman made six stops in the first half to keep the Owls within one after one quarter two at halftime, but the flood gates opened in the third as D'Alleva scored twice in a 1:27 span less than three minutes out of the locker room to double Amherst's lead to 4-0, which became 5-0 at the 37:44 mark when Mazambani scored off a feed from Paige DiBiase, who had two assists on the night.  D'Alleva completed the hat trick with 11:26 left to complete the scoring.  Her and Mazambani have scored nine of Amherst's 17 goals on the season.

Keene State made three defensive saves on the night, with Hailey Patridge keeping out a shot from Beth Williamson in the 14th minute and Hannah Wood denying Sam Maynard in the 22nd minute to keep it, at the time, 1-0.  Trailing by that score later in the first, the Owls had a chance, but Irini Stefanakos' shot went wide of the cage and Amherst goalkeeper Sara Nidus (2-1), who did not have to make a save in the win.

The Owls played three different goalkeepers, with Clara Gorman (1-2) getting the start and making six saves in 37:44.  Molly Edmark played 10:50 and stopped one of two shots, while Ashley Enis in 11:26 made two saves and did not allow a goal.

Four people – Mazambani, D'Alleva, Williamson, and Kat Mason – combined for 19 of Amherst's 30 shots.

Penalty Strokes
  • Gorman has 18 saves over the first three games (157:44) of her career.
  • Amherst had a 10-2 advantage in penalty corners.
  • Keene State's last win in the series, which has seen games in 1997, 2002-2003, and 2012-present, came in 2002, a 4-1 victory at home.  They have been blanked in the last three straight overall, and four in a row in Massachusetts since a 3-2 loss in 2013.
Up Next
  • The Owls are home for the first time in two weeks when they host Eastern Connecticut State University (2-2, 0-1 LEC) on Saturday, September 17 for a 1:30 p.m. start.  It is a rematch of last year's Little East tournament championship played in Keene, a 1-0 win for the Warriors.  ECSU has won three straight in the series after losing 23 of the previous 25.
  • No. 12 Amherst hosts conference opponent and 4th-ranked Tufts University (3-0, 1-0 NESCAC) on the same day at 12:00 p.m.
