Junior Kristin Lepley began the scoring for the Marauders only 6 minutes into the first period. Lepley dribbled quickly through a gap in the defense, stepped into the box, and fired a grounder to the right side, beating the goalie and giving the Marauders a 1-0 advantage.
After 30 minutes of scoreless action, red shirt Kramer put the ball in the net for her first goal of the season. Kramer took possession of a loose ball in the Griffins’ box, and fired a shot to the right just out of the reach of Paul to give the Marauders the 2-0 lead.
Shortly after, Parker scorched a shot from 18 yards out for the goal and a 3-0 lead. After stealing the ball from Chestnut Hill, Parker weaved to the corner of the box and fired a shot to the top of the net, just under the crossbar.
In the second period, Chestnut Hill gained a little momentum after a perfect pass from Danielle Spinuzza lead to a breakaway goal for Kaelyn Pizarro. Fifteen minutes in, Pizarro took Spinuzza’s pass in stride, dribbled into a one-on-one with Webber, and sneaked the ball into the Marauder net for the Griffin goal.
More Freshmans got into the action in the second period, as both Andel and Waite tallied goals for the Marauders.
Near the 70th minute, Parker dribbled toward the left corner fighting a defender. Parker fired a quick pass to the box, right to the feet of Andel. With her back to the net, Andel deflected Parker’s pass into a volley over the keeper’s hands, tacking on yet another Marauder goal.
Waite and Jocoby teamed up for the last score of the evening. After a quick pass from Jacoby, Waite had Paul one-on-one. Charging, Waite snuck the ball past a diving Paul for the final goal.
