THE ACTION

• Lavender made 17 saves during a scoreless first period.
• In the second frame, Whynot put Stonehill up with 3:16 gone, firing from a tough angle along the goal line. Sacca doubled the lead 4:59 later, tallying from the left circle after taking a giveaway.
• Hetman halved the deficit at 9:54 of the third, putting in the rebound of Goolie's initial bid after FitzGibbon's pass sprung her for a breakout through the right circle.
• The Purple Knights were still within a single tally during the late stages until Russell cashed in on the only penalty of the game with a power-play strike from between the circles at 17:45. Only 24 seconds later, Bibeau knocked in a rebound for an insurance marker.
