NICOLE ANDRIANI, the NJAC Defensive Player of the Week, stopped three shots for her second straight shutout and third of the season.
A defensive battle through the first 16-plus minutes, Montclair State would get on the board at the 17:01 mark converting a penalty corner chance. Elizabeth Cimillucca took the insert pass and made a move before slipping a pass to the top of the circle for Haslett who then drilled a shot into the cage for the 1-0 MSU advantage.
Andriani made the lead stand up the rest of the half as she knocked away the only shot on goal by the Ducks in the opening half. That came at the 24:31 mark as she denied Alyssa Appleby.
Montclair would add an insurance goal with 8:37 remaining on Constantine's first of the season.
KAILEY DALGAUER sent a pass to Haslett who then made another perfect feed over to Constantine with the latter banging in the shot on the right side giving the Red Hawks a 2-0 lead.
