HOW IT HAPPENED
Eleanor Hudson (Baltimore, Md.) got the scoring started when she beat the Pilgrim goaltender,
Jackie Clark (Dorchester, Mass.) on a rebound goal. A shot from the point got deflected on net and the rebound managed to sneak to the right side of the net.
The Panthers added another first period goal when Courtney Evans (Fairbanks, Alaska) fired a shot from the top of the blue line on the power play. The puck was shot at just the perfect level as it just over Clark's pad.
Caitlin Connor (Bow, N.H.) added an early second period goal for the Panthers when she found herself open on the top of the crease. She was able to beat Clark on her right and she was sliding across.
Kelsey Roy (Ft. Collins, Colo.) and Hudson added empty net goals in the final period.
GOALTENDERS
NEC's Clark faced 40 shots, stopping 37 of them in a losing effort. She will fall to 1-10-1. Alex Rajsigl (Tecumseh, Ontario) stopped all 24 shots the Pilgrims threw her way.
