FIRST QUARTER

New Hampshire recorded a 6-0 shot advantage with a 3-0 edge in corners through 15 minutes.

The Wildcats converted their second corner into a 1-0 lead at 11:52. The initial shot by Lara Pywell (London, England) from the top of the circle was directed aside by Lambert, but Godwin corralled the rebound at the left doorstep and lifted the ball into the cage to give the 'Cats a 1-0 lead.

SECOND QUARTER

New Hampshire outshot the Chargers 2-0 in the second quarter.

UNH scored on the first shot of the quarter to take a 2-0 lead at 17:36. Addison MacNeil (Brentwood, N.H.) drove along right endline before slipping a pass to the middle of the circle, where Godwin settled the ball and shot into the open cage for her second goal of the game.

THIRD QUARTER

Both teams were more offensive in the third quarter, when UNH had a 12-2 shot advantage and 6-1 edge in corners.
The Wildcats generated a corner in the 32^nd minute. The direct shot off the stick of Abigail Johnson (Oxford, Pa.) was topped by Lambert. Godwin's shot beat Lambert but MacAuley was positioned at the right post to deny the goal and keep the margin at two goals.
It led directly to another corner, however, and this time Johnson's shot from the top of the circle went wide of the cage.
On a another corner in the 40^th minute, Mckenna Nelson (Keene, N.H.) was denied twice by Lambert.
The 'Cats earned another corner one minute later, and this time Lambert stopped shots by Delilah Talbot (London, England) and MacNeil.
New Haven earned its only corner of the game in the 42^nd minute, and Lauren Schoonmaker's low blast toward the right post was stopped by Petiet to preserve the shutout.

In the last minute of the third quarter, Pywell's shot deep on the left side was stopped by Riley Schoonmaker and Makayla Clark (Evanston, Ill.) was denied by Lambert to keep the score 2-0.

FOURTH QUARTER

In a relatively quiet fourth quarter, UNH had the edge in both shots (4-0) and corners (1-0).
