How It Happened
Hogan notched the game's first two goals in the first 2:30, with
Alina Friz and
Alison Murray tacking on a goal apiece, as the Ducks carried a 4-2 lead to a second quarter that featured just a single player-up score from Sellitto after 15+ minutes without a goal from either side.
Coming out of the locker room, the Ducks put their foot on the gas and put the game well out of reach.
Abby O'Brien, Friz, and Hogan all scored in the first 90 seconds, putting Stevens up 8-2. O'Brien, Sellitto (twice), and Friz again made it 12-2, initiating the running clock in the final 90 seconds of the third quarter.
DeSales briefly stopped the running clock with a goal that cut the lead back under early in the fourth, but goals from Friz and Murray put the Ducks up 11, with Sellitto answering a late goal from the Bulldogs for the final margin.
