AMHERST, Mass. -- Five Minutewomen tallied multiple goals as the University of Massachusetts women's lacrosse team defeated Albany, 20-1, at Richard F. Garber Field on Thursday. Massachusetts is now 4-2 on the season while the Great Danes drop to 0-5.

The Minutewomen got on the board first when Lydia Robinson (Summit, N.J.) scored two minutes into the game. Once UMass found it offense it didn't turn it off.
