How It Happened

The Scots went on to score three more to end the first quarter with a slight edge, 4-1.
• Beling got the Scots going once again after a feed from LaPia at the 11:52 mark. Gordon continued their goal streak as Mini, Abigail Mansfield, and Beling added three more to the Scots' tally to head into the second half, 8-1.
• In the third, both squads traded goals before the AMCATS went on a three-goal run to shrink the deficit to five (10-5) with 2:53 left in the frame. With less than two minutes remaining, Mini laced one past the AMCATS' goalie to go into the final quarter up, 11-5. 
• The Scots came out firing in the last 15 as Rhoda capitalized on a free position shot just 32 seconds in to widen the gap to seven goals. The visitors were able to find the back of the netting four more times but it was not enough as the blue and white collected their fourth straight win, 14-9.
