BROOKLINE, Mass. – Junior Kayla Cappuzzo notched her first collegiate two-goal game to carry the Northeastern women's soccer team (3-3-1) to a comprehensive 4-0 win over Holy Cross (1-5-0) on Thursday evening at Parsons Field.

Junior Hannah Lopiccolo and sophomore Hannah Rosenblatt each recorded a goal and an assist, while junior Carly Wilhelm chipped in two assists to move into a tie for seventh place all-time at Northeastern with nine career helpers. 

The Huskies' defense allowed Holy Cross only one shot on goal as sophomore goalkeeper Nathalie Nidetch picked up her second clean-sheet of the campaign.
