The Details

  • Not even 10 minutes into the contest (8:24), Dumaresq sent a pass over to Schultz and after she corralled the ball, Schultz put her shot past Seahawks goalie, Hughes, for an early 1-0 advantage. 
  • Wagner continued to pepper Stonehill netminder, Jackson, and she continued to make stop after stop before Wilde snuck her shot past and evened the contest at one. 
  • A few minutes later at 28:05, Emma Slade had a chance for the go-ahead goal, but her shot was turned back by Hughes. 
  • Before the half came to a close (43:57), Cipriano generated her own offense and found the back of the net which gave Wagner a 2-1 lead headed into halftime. 
  • The Seahawks carried their momentum into the second half with four shots in a row but Jackson turned all the attempts away. However, at 62:50, Wagner tacked on an insurance goal from Carr (3-1) after she took a pass by Manzella.
  • Stonehill had a chance to cut the deficit to one after a shot from Kara Moore but Hughes made the stop. Lauren Clement had a couple of opportunities herself at 78:54 and 84:20 but again was stopped by Hughes as Wagner held on for a 3-1 win. 
  • Jackson finished with 12 saves which marked a new career-high for the junior goaltender. In back-to-back starts, Jackson has now posted five or more saves.
