Coughlin, '80 Memorial Field at W.B. Mason Stadium tonight.
The Details

- Assumption doubled its lead 4:55 into the third quarter when senior Jenna Graf took Walsh's corner pass and fired a low shot from just inside the top of the circle through the Stonehill defense for her third goal of the season.
- Stonehill closed the gap with 3:52 to play when sophomore Claudia Crowe forced an Assumption miscue at the top of the circle and then delivered her fifth goal of the year into an empty cage to cut the Greyhounds lead in half.
