- Building on that momentum, Morgan Bovardi, the program's all-time leading goal scorer, added to her season total in the 58th minute, finishing off a beautiful setup from Shea Kelleher to double the lead.
- Thievon and the defense held it down from there, coasting to a 2-0 win
- This five-game win streak is the longest in program history
- Bovardi scored her ninth conference goal, leading the conference
- Shea Kelleher earns her fourth assist of the year
- Thievon earns her sixth clean sheet of the year and third consecutive
