On the entry pass to sophomore
Chrissy Coffield (North Conway, N.H.), she slid a pass to her left to senior
Alie Jones (Cape Neddick, Maine). After settling the pass, Jones scored past the stick side of Hawks sophomore goalie Baileigh Griese (Woodstock, N.Y.), giving Colby-Sawyer a 2-1 advantage.
The Chargers added insurance at 53:00 on the second goal of the afternoon by Morin.
On a scrum in front of the net, Jones' shots were initially turned away by Griese, but one of the rebounds found Morin alone in front and she shoveled a shot into the net, giving Colby-Sawyer a 3-1 lead on Morin's fifth goal of the season.
After a scoreless opening half, the Hawks broke through for the game's first goal at 30:49.
Early in the third quarter, Becker earned a penalty corner, passed in by sophomore Kylian Kelly (Shrewsbury, Mass.). Her pass found the stick of senior Jocelyn Lebel (North Grafton, Mass.). Lebel's initial shot was blocked but found Kelly about seven yards from goal. Kelly turned and fired a shot past Chargers junior
Abby Ladd (Colchester, Vt.), giving Becker a 1-0 lead.
Colby-Sawyer answered back later in the third quarter at 39:22 on the game-tying goal by Morin.
The goal originated on a pass from sophomore
Caroline Tompkins (Marblehead, Mass.) that found Morin about 10 yards from goal.
