GAME FACTS

THE ACTION

• Martinez took Rook's centering pass behind the final line of defense and finished from the middle of the circle during the fifth minute.
• Rook made a move around the edge to beat the last Purple Knight defender and tallied from out wide in the ninth minute before finishing a natural hat trick before halftime. She took a failed clear from a defender and scored from out front in the 21st minute and put home a rebound in the 24th minute.
• Saint Michael's halved the deficit in the final 10 minutes of regulation. DeBaggis cashed in on her own rebound in the 51st minute, and Leclerc sent in the rebound off of a DeBaggis shot in the 58th minute. However, that proved to be the hosts' final shot.
