BOSTON, MA (November 23rd, 2024)  UMass Boston Beacons shine was too bright for the New England College Pilgrims to stay in the game this weekend as UMass earned back-to-back victories over their conference opponent. Following three periods of intense competition, the Beacons ended the weekend with a 3-0 win.
 
The Basics:
Final Score: Beacons 3 - 0 Pilgrims
UMass Boston: 2-5-0 (2-4-0)

How It Happened:
