HOW IT HAPPENED: 

  • The first quarter was scoreless between both teams; however, the Hawks came out on fire, making 12 shots in the quarter and holding the Ravens to 0. 

  • The second quarter is where the Hawks found the back of the net. In the final four minutes of the first half, Millie Forster found Ava Rayfield who opened the scoring. Shortly after that, Leila Haertal scored her first goal of the season with the Hawks, putting Saint Anselm up 2-0 entering Halftime.  

  • The second half opened with the duo of Forster and Rayfield continuing their hot streak with Forster grabbing her fourth goal of the year and then Rayfield grabbing her second of the game to put the Hawks up 4-0.
