Worcester, MA --- Amanda Gurnon (Tolland, CT) collected a goal and an assist in WPI's 4-0 shutout of visiting Mount Holyoke in NEWMAC women's soccer action Saturday afternoon. With the win, the Engineers improve to 5-4-1 overall and 1-0-1 in conference play. Mount Holyoke dips to 1-7 on the season and 0-2 in NEWMAC action.

Gurnon helped stake the Crimson and Gray to a 3-0 halftime lead when she netted the second goal at 15:11 and fed Julia Berg (Cambridge, MA) on the third tally at 39:21. Kelly Thompson (Pine Bush, NY) had put WPI on the board when she found the back of the net in the eighth minute.
