COACH'S QUOTE
"It was a great result against UMass team that's extremely difficult to play against," head coach Rob Dow said. "We had three different goal scorers, so really happy about that and to get 10 wins is a special season already."
 
HOW IT HAPPENED

• Yaniv Bazini scored the game's first goal in the ninth minute after the Catamounts weathered an early UMass attack. The UVM forward converted on a rebound for his fourth goal of the season. Garrett Lillie was credited with the assist.
• The offense opened up in the second half, with the Catamounts outshooting the Minutemen 5-2 in the first 15 minutes. Adrian Schulze Solano nearly doubled the Vermont lead in the 57th minute when he rifled a kick off the cross bar from deep outside the 18-yard box.
• UVM did double its lead in the 64th minute on Alex Nagy's fourth goal of the season. Max Murray found Nagy for the late tally.
• Jacob Vitale added an insurance marker for the Catamounts in the 71st minute when he pounced on a Noe Coutiño rebound and fired it past Matt Zambetti (4 saves).
