Priscilla Martinelli scored in the 16th minute for Lasell (3-2, 3-0 GNAC) off an assist from Alex Lorenzo to give the Lasers a lead that they would never look back from.
Lorenzo played a corner-kick service from Serena Speight over to the center of the goal and then Martinelli buried the ball into the center of the net from point-blank range to give Lasell the 1-0 lead.
Alyssa DeOliveira made it 2-0 Lasell with a rocket shot from 25-yards out that beat Watt to the far post off an assist from Maria Henriquez in the 39th minute.
Speight capped the scoring in the 67th minute with a goal off an assist from Narissa Libby to make it 3-0 Lasers. Speight buried the ball into the left corner of the net from outside the penalty box for the goal.
