Colby-Sawyer avenged a 4-1 regular season loss to the Pilgrims, which finish the season at 13-6-1. The Chargers won three games in the NAC Tournament by one goal, including road games against the top and second seeds. 
 
Colby-Sawyer sophomore Abbie Sansoucy broke the scoring drought in the 64th minute of play with the game-winner striking a free-kick that went over the head of NEC keeper Mackenzie Meegan. Sansoucy was named NAC Tournament MVP for the second straight season. She scored the game-winner in last year's 1-0 championship victory over NEC in New London. 
 
The Pilgrims would try to bring the offensive pressure late finishing the game with the 7-5 advantage in shots on net but they would be unable to get in the scoring column.
 
Freshman Sam Mitchell played arguably her best game of the season in the highest pressure situation to pick up the win with seven saves. She was named to the All-Tournament team. 
 
Meegan notched four saves in the loss for the Pilgrims.

Colby-Sawyer freshman Molly MacLure, senior Rachel Quaye and junior Corrie Hoyt also earned All-Tournament honors for the Chargers. 

The Chargers have won each of the past four NAC Championships by a 1-0 score.
