HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Saint Anselm was on the attacking front early in the first period of play ripping 2-of-3 shots on target in the opening three minutes. At the 3:28 mark, senior Maddie Davis (Exeter, N.H.) tallied her first goal of the season off a centering pass from senior Abby Bevens (Pelham, N.H.) to put the Hawks up 1-0. A couple of minutes later, Davis got on the board again after drilling the ball into the lower left corner assisted by junior Amanda Lewandowski (Franklin, Mass.) to take a 2-0 advantage. The Purple Knights responded after winning a penalty corner in the sixth minute with Bridgie Loughlin notching her second goal of the season to make it 2-1. 
  • Senior goalkeeper Mackenzie McConnell (Township Concord, Maine) registered her first save of the game off a shot from Danielle Cummings. Bevens extended Saint Anselm's lead to 3-1 after launching a shot that redirected off a defender in the last four minutes of the second period. 
  • At the start of the third period, Davis tallied her third goal of the afternoon after tipping the ball past Joelle Cameron from an assist by junior Ava Rayfield (Dover-Foxcroft, Maine).

Midway through the period, sophomore Millie Forster (Cheshire, England) ripped her first shot on target that Cameron was able to clear.
