How it Happened
  • Ava Poupard drew a foul in the scoring zone less than 15 seconds after the opening draw.  She successfully converted her free-position attempt to put UAlbany up 1-0 with 14:46 left in the first quarter.  New Hampshire responded just under a minute later, before Katie Pascale notched two in a row to put UAlbany up 3-1 early.
  • New Hampshire scored to cut the lead to 3-2 before UAlbany closed the first quarter on a 5-0 run to take an 8-2 lead.  Pascale scored with five seconds remaining in the quarter to complete a hat trick in less than 15 minutes of game time.
  • The Wildcats regrouped and opened the second quarter on a six-goal run to tie the game at eight with 6:22 left before the break.  Allie Maloney ended New Hampshire's run with her second goal of the game with 2:41 remaining, and Pascale added her fourth goal with 10 seconds before halftime to put UAlbany up 10-8 after 30 minutes.
  • New Hampshire rolled off the first three goals of the third quarter, first tying the game at 10 with 13:43 remaining, and taking a one-goal lead with 11:39 remaining.  UAlbany responded in-kind with a three-goal run of their own.
  • After Maloney's goal to tie the game at 11, Pascale won the ensuing draw.  It was her third won draw of the game, and the 100th of her career.
  • Pascale scored her fifth goal of the game with 8:15 left in the third to put UAlbany back on top, 12-11.  UAlbany would not relinquish the lead again in the game.
