Summary

The Seahawks even the all-time series 14-14-3 and have gone 10-1 versus the Pilgrims in the last 11 meetings.

Three Stars of the Game

2. Salve Regina sophomore Madison Jalbert (Beverly, Mass.) made 17 saves to secure her first career shutout.
3. Salve Regina freshman Grace Schwartz (Brookfield, Wisc.) scored on the power play with 24 seconds remaining to give the Seahawks a 2-0 lead.
