BEVERLY, Mass.

Top Performers
• Western New England junior forward Allison Jackson (Mahopac, N.Y.) scored her first goal of the season on a feed from classmate Brittany DeLima (Branchville, N.J.).

• Jackson equalized for the Golden Bears at the 10:14 mark, when she tipped a pass from DeLima past Endicott senior goalie Cheka Ventura (Lawrence, Mass.).
