COACH ROCHE'S COMMENTS

"Today was a good team win," said head coach Brianna Roche. "UVM battled until the very end and I'm proud of our players for maintaining their composure under pressure. Our defensive unit stepped up in a number of crucial moments today, and our offensive unit gained momentum as several players contributed points." 

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The two teams went goal for goal to start the game off at two apiece.
  • Maggie Pressler (Smithfield, R.I.) found Devon Bolen (Queensbury, N.Y.) in front of the net for the first of three-straight for the Black and Gold with tallies coming from Weber and Natalie Langella (Northport, N.Y.).
  • Vermont ended the run with a goal of its own but the Bulldogs answered with two more from Cassidy Burns (Massapequa, N.Y.) and Caitlin Bolen (Queensbury, N.Y.). The Catamounts went on to get one more just before the half to cut into Bryant's lead, 7-4.
  • The second half started with back and forth scoring as the Catamounts cut it to two, 10-8.
  • Senior Caitlin Breglia (Long Beach, N.Y.) buried a free position shot followed by a goal from Weber to end the game, 12-8, as the Bryant defense held Vermont off until the final horn.
