Worcester was quick to the draw versus new  MASCAC foe Framingham State with a goal from sophomore Madelyn Franta (Superior, WI) would knock in goal number one. Goal number two would grab Franta's second point of the night with sophomore Kaia Carlson (Denver, CO) capitalizing on a rebound  in front the net  to take Worcester take the 2-0 lead. First year Emily John's (Clinton, MA) would expand the Lancer lead to 3-0 as Worcester was on the hunt for their first win of their new MASCAC conference. In the final 30 seconds of the first, Carlson would net her second of the night off of yet another rebound finishing the period 4-0 over the Rams.

Worcester would slow down in the second but still expand their lead as sophomore Abbey Millman (Georgetown, MA) would nab the perfect pace out front from fellow sophomore Kelly Lovett (Peabody). The scoring would not stop when junior Lea Gaspar (Chelmsford, MA) grabbed goal number six. Rounding out her scoring on the night was Franta who nabbed her third goal of the game to extend the lead to 6-0. Franta would add. Second period icing on the cake when she nabbed goal number seven for Worcester to carry a 7-0 lead into the second intermission.
