Western New England was able to hold Amherst to its lowest offensive output on the road so far this season, but Christopher Martin broke a scoreless tie in the 27th minute with his fourth goal. Greg Singer delivered a centering pass from the right flank as the ball went through a maze of players in front of the goal, where Martin one-timed a shot from 8 yards out into the lower-left part of the net.

Nico Pascual-Leone added an insurance goal, unassisted, 3 minutes and 11 seconds later to put the Lord Jeffs up 2-0.

Amherst keeper Thomas Bull had to make just one save to record his third shutout this fall already.

Amherst also won key statistical categories in shots (13-6), shots on goal (6-1) and corner kicks (4-3). Senior back and team captain Colin Macdonald led WNE with three shots.
