Freshman Ali Edell (Mountain Lakes, N.J.) recorded her first collegiate goal as she put the Raiders on the board first with a power-play tally at 18:34 of the first frame, with help from juniors Kara Leene (Waterbury, Vt.) and Mallory Johnston (Chatham, Ont.).

 

Less than one minute later, Kristin Gigliotti tied the game on a power-play goal after picking up a pass from Katy Beach and Mari Pehkonen.

  

Sarah Feldman gave the Friars a lead with five minutes left in the second period with game’s third power-play goal.  Feldman added another goal six minutes into the third period that would prove to be the eventual game-winner.

 

Colgate cut the lead back to 3-2 after Sam Hunt (Calgary, Alta.) poked in an Elin Brown (Calgary, Alta.) rebound at 8:31.

 

Pehkonen gave the Friars a two-goal cushion at 11:52 before Gigliotti added an empty-net marker with 34 seconds remaining.

 

Brook Wheeler (Brussels, Ont.) made 28 saves for the Raiders, while Danielle Ciarletta made 24 stops for the Friars.
