  • The Hawks dominated possession in the third and created most of the scoring opportunities with three shots and three penalty corners, but failed to score.
  • The Spartans fired two shots on goal in the third quarter, but senior goaltender Sidney Falterer (Fairfield, Conn.) saved both to keep the score at 3-1 entering the final quarter of play.
  • With a little over five minutes left in the game, Saint Anselm earned a penalty stroke. Sophomore Laurentien van den Akker (Geldrop, The Netherlands) stepped up to the spot and delivered her third goal of the season, putting the Hawks up 4-1
