Three Stars of the Game

  1. UNE junior Julia Benjamin (Tolland, Conn.) made 18 saves in a shutout performance.

Turning Point
The Seahawks had three powerplay opportunities to start the first period, including a 5-on-3, but could not convert against the fifth ranked penalty kill in the nation.

Four more goals in the second period put the game out of reach for the Seahawks.
