GAME FACTS
- Hamilton ended the day with 101 career points, becoming the 21st Purple Knight to reach 100.
- With 156 saves, Amigo broke Jess Anderson's '05 first-year program mark of 150, set in 2002, and tied Heather Ahearn '93 for the school's rookie mark, reached as a junior in 1992. Amigo and Ahearn are tied for eighth in program annals in season saves.
- Barbato's six caused turnovers tied a career high, matched the most by an NE10 player over the last two seasons, and were two shy of the most by a Purple Knight since complete records became available in 2001. Katelyn Krumperman's '05 eight at Assumption University on March 29, 2003, remain the high during the modern era.
THE ACTION
- Conover scored off of Adams' feed 15 seconds into the game, as the Purple Knights netted the opening 12 markers by 4:58 of the second quarter.
