- Records: Assumption (11-1, 7-1 NE10), New Haven (4-8, 4-4 NE10)

HOW IT HAPPENED:

- Assumption dominated play in the first quarter recording nine shots and two penalty corners and continued to dominate into the second quarter. The Hounds earned their third penalty corner of the game and put the ball in the back of the cage before it was called back. Neither team could hit the boards again before the end of the first half.

- The Hounds came out ready to play in the third quarter when they earned a penalty corner about halfway through the quarter. Assumption gets the ball in front of the cage where Deirdre Burchill (Braintree, Mass./Braintree) collects a rebound off the pads and buries it into the back of the cage for the 1-0 lead.

- In the fourth quarter, the Hounds scored again when Isabel Primack (Ipswich, Mass./Ipswich) carried the ball down the left side and along the end line when she snuck a shot between the goalie's legs and into the boards for the second goal and the 2-0, sixth shutout, eighth-straight, victory.
