• The Huskies' third goal came on a breakaway by Jackson that was set up after the Pilgrims could not control the puck following a faceoff in the Southern Maine end of the ice. Senior Madelyn McLeish (Dedham, Mass.) had the pass that sprung Jackson.
• The Pilgrims had just five shots on goal through the first two periods while the Huskies put 30 shots on goal. The third period saw the Pilgrims ramp up their offensive efforts with 10 shots on goal, but they were still unable to get one past McKim.
