GAME FLOW & NOTES
- The first period ended in a scoreless draw, with each team recording five shots on goal. Madison Myers (Colchester, Vt.) made five saves in her 20 minutes of action.
- The second period featured four goals and seven total penalties.
- Cassidy MacPherson (Oakville, Ontario) got the scoring started for the Friars. Maureen Murphy (Buffalo, N.Y.) played the puck to Sara Hjalmarsson (Bankeryd, Sweden) who left a drop pass on the slot for MacPherson to finish.
- Just three minutes later, Providence doubled its lead on the power play. Hjalmarsson again picked up the assist by playing a nice cross-ice pass to Murphy, who sniped the top left corner. Whitney Dove (Port Moody, British Columbia) picked up the secondary assist.
- The Friars tallied another power play goal at the 14:19 mark of the middle stanza. One-touch passing through the zone led to a one-time finish from Hayley Lunny (Bedford, N.Y.). Neve Van Pelt (Mitchell, Ontario) and Meghan Rickard (Coventry, R.I.) had the assists.
- Just over a minute later, Concordia cut into the lead. Rosalie Begin-Cyr picked up a rebound in front and put it past Clare Minnerath (Sartell, Minn.).
- Kate Friesen (Altona, Manitoba) became the fourth Friar of the day to score with a shot from the point. It deflected off a defenseman and found the back of the net. Avery Fransoo (North Battleford, Saskatchewan) and Murphy earned the assists.
- MacPherson got her second of the night at the 15:48 mark of the third period. She skated down on a 2-on-1 with Murphy, elected to take the shot herself and slipped it past Madison Oakes for the 6-1 lead.
- Providence had five different goal scorers and had nine different players register a point.
