QUOTING COACH KATIE CROWLEY

"I thought it was a great opportunity for our kids to finally play a game. They've been on the ice practicing for a while, so to be able to play against another team and see what they're going to do and react was good. And I thought our kids did a great job with that. Now we have some things to work on and we'll be able to watch the video and learn from it and get better from it before next weekend."

HOW IT HAPPENED

- Carpenter got the Eagles on the board less than 2:00 into the game when she poked Haley Skarupa's rebound in past Guelph goaltender Valerie Lamenta at 1:27 of the first

- Meghan Grieves pushed the lead to 2-0 at the 11:23 mark when she redirected Andie Anastos' pass. Skarupa also recorded an assist on the play

- The Eagles pushed the score to 3-0 at 14:35 of the second when Carpenter knocked in the loose puck after Kristyn Capizzano broke into the zone on a shorthanded bid.

- Trivigno added her goal at 7:15 in the third when Kenzie Kent threaded a pass through the crease for Trivigno breaking in on the back post

- Guelph pulled a goal back at 12:11 of the third when Christine Grant snuck a shot past Gabri Switaj, who came in after Carpenter's second goal

- Megan Keller capped the scoring at 19:18 of the third when she re-directed Trivigno's pass into the upper corner.
