Box Score BANGOR, Maine- Wheaton College sophomore Lauren Corigliano (Roselle Park, N.J/Roselle Park) produced a season-high five points, on two goals and an assist, and the nationally-ranked women's soccer team pitched its second-straight shutout as the Lyons defeated Husson University 3-0 this afternoon in a non-conference match.
