Turning Point
After trailing 2-0 the Seahawks scored the only goal of the second period to draw within a single score to begin the third. Jacy Kuhlman (Severna Park, Md.) netted a goal at 8:05 to push the lead back to 3-1; however, the Seahawks would not go quietly. Cassidy Lariviere (Marstons Mills, Mass.) scored her first career goal on a wraparound at 11:38 of third and once again, it was a one-score game. With the game again in doubt, the Gulls found another gear and scored three goals in 94 seconds.
