How it Happened
  • Vermont began the game with early pressure when the Catamounts produced a shot on net only 1:37 into the game. The Kate Hall shot was saved by Sheridan Messier - her only save of the half.
  • In the first quarter, UAlbany's only counting stat was a Lara Mortz green card and Vermont earned a penalty corner they could not convert.
  • In the second quarter, Vermont produced the game's second shot that went wide. UAlbany responded with sustained pressure for the remainder of the quarter. 
  • Katie MacCallum took the Great Danes' first shot on goal, that was saved, and produced an ensuing penalty corner. Cosima Rocktaeschel took the pass from Martz and fired a shot was that kicked aside by goalkeeper Sierra Espeland.
  • 50 seconds after the changes, Charlotte Triggs scored the game's first goal when she deflected a Carli Pelletier ball into the back of the goal and gave UAlbany a 1-0 lead. 
  • Kelsey McCrudden took the final shot of the half that was blocked, as the Great Danes took a 1-0 lead over the Catamounts into halftime.
  • Vermont began the third quarter with all of the momentum. The Catamounts produced their first shot four minutes into the quarter, a saved shot off a penalty corner. 
  • At 36:03, they added three shots in less than one minutes that were all on goal and all saved by Messier. Messier made four of her five saves during the three-minute surge by Vermont.
  • After fighting off the Vermont push, UAlbany produced the final three shots of the quarter, two that were on goal and both saved.
  • UAlbany played more defensively in the fourth quarter, as they looked to preserve the 1-0 lead. Julie Rodijk took the final shot on goal at 50:39 that was saved - the shot accounted for UAlbany's final of the game. 
  • A Pleun Haantjes shot wide for Vermont was the game's final shot, as the Great Danes sealed their 1-0 shutout victory over the Catamounts.
Next: UAlbany will travel to Maine on Sunday, April 11 for a crucial conference battle, scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m.
