• Dylana Williams added to the momentum with an unassisted strike, which was quickly followed by a free-position goal from Mikaela Mooney.
• Courtney Rowe found the back of the net off a smooth feed from Gracie McCauley before Williams scored her second of the game with another strong individual effort.

• The Great Danes opened the second with Rowe striking again, this time assisted by Poupard, then notched her third just two minutes later unassisted to complete her hat trick. Mooney scored her second free position goal of the day before UNH responded with a goal from Allie Connerty.
• Kloey Roos closed out the half strong for UAlbany, scoring twice in under 15 seconds - first on a free position and then off an assist from Cook - sending the Purple and Gold into halftime with all the momentum.
