• Just 59 seconds later, the home team struck once again. After an initial save by Juliana Heaton (Swansea, Mass.), Bianca Robbins put home the rebound, hitting the lower right corner to extend the lead to two goals in the early stages of the match.
• The Leopards had opportunities to get back in the match minutes later. They put up three consecutive shots but were unable to connect, with one shot ringing off the post.
• Heaton then made several saves to keep Wentworth within two goals. The freshman stopped seven Roger Williams shots in the opening half and made a career-high nine saves on the night.
• Following a pair of shot attempts that were unsuccessful, the home team added two more goals. Leah Yucius cleaned up a rebound following a Heaton save to put Roger Williams up by three, then Oster picked up her second of the night minutes later to give the Hawks a 4-0 lead that they held on to the rest of the way.
