GAME RECAP

- No goals were scored in the first period with St. Lawrence leading in shots 9-6. UNH killed off one powerplay in the period, allowing only one shot while down a player.

- St. Lawrence tallied the first goal of the game 1:22 into the second period on a powerplay. Brittany Gout sent a short pass in the neutral zone to Shailynn Snow who followed with a shot that was blocked. Rachel Teslak took that blocked shot and tried to put it on net; her initial shot was saved but she then proceeded to score off her own rebound sending the puck into the right lower side of the net.

- Teslak also assisted on a goal 18:31 into the period; as she was heading back to the bench, she sent a puck into the offensive zone and Anna Segedi tipped it to Kayla Vespa. Vespa carried the puck to the front of the net and then passed to the right of the net at the last second for Segedi to finish.

-Seconds into the third period, Segedi scored her second goal of the game making the score 3-0. Snow skated up to the net and took a shot that was saved. There was a scrum in front of the net where the rebound bounced off of Vespa to Segedi who got ahold of the puck and scored.

- New Hampshire's first and only goal of the game was scored with 1:35 left in the third period. Tori Howran (Bancroft, Ontario) took a shot that was saved and rebounded to the right side of SLU goaltender Caitlin Whitehead. Emily Rickwood collected the rebound and was able to beat Whitehead before she could reposition.

- On the following faceoff the Wildcats once again tried to pull the goaltender but a turnover in the neutral zone found Segedi, sending the puck into the empty net from beyond the blue line.
