Game highlights

* In the second period, first-year Elizabeth Brashich (pictured) scored her first collegiate goal off an assist from Mullaney at 8:18. Brashich started the play with some fine hustle to put pressure on a defender in back of the net to force a turnover.
* The Beacons tied the game just 33 seconds later at 9:01 on an unassisted goal by junior Emily Harris. She picked up a free puck on the left side of the goal, circled back around, and put a wrist shot just inside the left post.
