Rapid Recap:
 

• The Chargers offense began the first quarter firing shots towards the Rivier keeper. The first shot on frame from the Raiders came in the 11^th minute and was successfully collected by Wilkinson. With less than two minutes on the clock, sophomore Aleah Murph (Portland, Maine) found the fifth year who scored the first and only goal of the match and recorded her eighth goal on the season. 
• Colby-Sawyer kept its foot on the gas as the team produced six total shots with senior Chrissy Coffield (North Conway, N.H.) providing worthy through-balls in the second quarter. Junior Aoife Daly (Harwich, Mass.) and first year Courtney Larson (Auburn, Maine) took turns recording two shots each within the quarter. 
• Looking to extend their lead, the Chargers started the third quarter with a promising penalty corner taken by junior Bella Silva (Danvers, Mass.). Three back-to-back shots immediately followed the corner, unfortunately for Colby-Sawyer, none were rewarded.
• The fourth quarter of the match remained 1-0 in favor of the Chargers. A big save by Wilkinson came late in the quarter to preserve the lead and ultimately take the game 1-0 from the Rivier Raiders.
