> Molly Frey posted three saves and her third shutout of the season.
> The Cherry and White outcornered UD 7-3, drawing three in the second and third quarters.

Quotable
> "When you add the little details up, it makes a big difference in the big game. Today we were able to get on the end of rebounds and finish, and we had a lot of variety in our attack today. The team played well, there was a sense of togetherness, relentlessness, and connection that you always like to see. It's always wonderful to get a quality result for such a historic program in front of our amazing alumnae, but I was also excited to see the team perform for themselves and for each other." – head coach Michelle Vittese
