Meghan Hamilton put in a feed from Grace Arsenault just over a minute later to extend the Nor'easter lead out to 2-0 after a period [Watch]. Raquel Ade also recorded an assist on the goal.
 
UNE held a wide margin in shots all night, but Curry made it interesting in the second period. Ali Olorenshaw cut the deficit in half with a goal from the blue line that hit the crossbar and dropped in midway through. Rowan Nasty tied the game 2-2 for the Colonels with 7:56 to play in the period.

Bella Crugnale redirected a blast from Eliana Kane with 3:38 to play in the period to put the game out of reach [Watch].
