HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • Sophomore midfielder Delaney Langton (Scituate, R.I.), senior defender Kaitlyn Bongarzone(Mansfield, Mass.) and junior defender Samantha Tomaszewski (Sterling, Mass.) each found the back of the net for the first time this season to lead the Bears to the win. Senior forward Alana Vincent (Taunton, Mass.) added her MASCAC-leading 17th goal of the season, and classmateEmma Sanders (Seekonk, Mass.) checked in with three assists.
  • The Rams struck first in the contest as junior midfielder Casey Good (Dartmouth, Mass.) converted a two-on-one opportunity in the 24th minute to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. Sophomore midfielder Abigail Kurtzer (Plainville, Mass.) set up the two-on-one with a pass down the right sideline to senior forward Kaleigh Pallotta (Hanover, Mass.). Pallotta slipped a crossing pass over to a wide open Good who beat the keeper one-one-one with a shot into the center of the cage.
  • Langton knotted the score in the 32nd minute as she beat the keeper with a shot inside the right post from 14 yards out with Sanders collecting her first assist of the evening.
  • The score would remain tied at 1-1 heading into the intermission.
  • In the 60th minute, Sanders made a great run down the right sideline, curled inside the 18 and slipped a short crossing pass to a wide open Vincent stationed in the six. Vincent one-timed a shot into the center of the net for her MASCAC-leading eighth game-winning goal of the season.
  • Bongarzone extended the BSU advantage to 3-1 in the 70th minute as she buried a shot inside the left post from just outside the 18 with Langton and Sanders assisting on the marker.
