The Spartans (2-0) are looking to make up for the loss of last year’s top scorer, Sabrina Iannetti, who graduated. “We want to have balance,’’ said coach Frank Pagliuca. “Tonight is a good sign. We were really focusing on playing well and having a solid team offense.’’

Sophomore Gina Beth Manganiello scored the Spartans’ first goal, then Gabrielle Crugnale, Kaleigh Finnigan, Brittani Lanzilli, and Alison Butler also found the back of the net.

“It’s a team concept, we need to spread the goals around,’’ said Pagliuca. “We need to be creating opportunities and finishing them.’’
