HOW IT HAPPENED 
  • The Penmen took an early 1-0 advantage in the opening five minutes of the game after Minke van de Poll buried the first shot of the contest past senior goalkeeper Mackenzie McConnell (Concord Township, Maine).

Junior Sidney Falterer (Fairfield, Conn.) stepped in net for the penalty stroke for Saint Anselm, but Emma Thibodeau's shot ended up going wide. Shortly after, junior Abby Breznyak (Oakland, Maine) ripped the first shot on target for the Hawks that Penmen goalkeeper Emma Peeters saved.
  • With a couple of minutes left in the period, junior Grace Michael (Hampton Falls, N.H.) notched her first goal of the season off the assist from Breznyak to make it 3-1 heading into halftime.
  • SNHU started the third period on the attack with van de Poll firing another shot on the frame that McConnell was able to deny. Mia Fischer scored her second goal of the season at the 34:22 mark to give the Penmen a 4-1 lead.
  • Saint Anselm earned two penalty corners in the fourth period and senior Maddie Davis (Exeter, N.H.) registered the only shot on target for the Hawks, but SNHU would secure the victory by a final score of 4-1.
