WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • The Pioneers turned things up a notch in the 4th quarter, but so did the Hawks, picking up their fourth goal of the game in the 52nd minute.
  • Libby Fortin (State College, Pa.) slipped a shot through the defense towards the waiting stick of Tolley for the redirect and the goal.
  • Just under five minutes later, Utica got on the board with a tally of their own.
  • Hartwick capped off the contest with a goal halfway through the final minute of play.  Julie Ruzzi (High Falls, N.Y.) notched her third goal of the season with an assist from Gagnon.
