• Conover fed Lynch at 11:33 of the third quarter before tallying at 8:09 to trim the deficit to one goal.
• Loeber had a goal and an assist in a 3-0 response that pushed Assumption's lead to a game-high 9-5 with 1:45 left in the third quarter.
• That proved to be the Greyhounds' final goal, as the visitors were held to only seven shots in the closing 18-plus minutes, with Amigo stopping all three shots sent on net.
• Conover tallied at 1:06 before Hamilton scored her first goal of the night only 35 seconds later.
• With her team still down two goals with less than four minutes left in regulation, Hamilton found the net at 3:40 before Drinkwater caused a turnover with 90 seconds to go. After a Purple Knight timeout, Hamilton struck for the tying marker with 51 ticks remaining.
• MacDonald secured the ensuing draw, but Loeber's shot at the buzzer was denied by Amigo.
• Senior Kailey Butler captured the draw control to start overtime, and the Greyhounds attempted four shots on their first possession, but Amigo stopped the only bid send on net.
• Butler forced a takeaway to start a transition opportunity around the midway point of the five-minute stanza, but Barbato intercepted a pass to deny the breakout and started a counterattack. Following another timeout at 1:52, Hamilton possessed on the restart and went straight to goal, shooting above Cashman to the top of the net with 1:46 remaining. The tally was her fourth straight and capped a game-ending 5-0 run.
