Devante Rodney struck twice in the first half as Rochdale opened their National League campaign with a 3-0 win at Boston.
Rodney opened the scoring after 15 minutes when he latched on to a Harvey Gilmour pass.
And a dominant opening 45 minutes was underlined when Rodney pounced again before the break after Ethan Ebanks-Landell put him clear.
It gave Rochdale a comfortable cushion, and there was no way back for the home side, with Ian Henderson’s late goal sealing a comprehensive victory.
