In the 13th minute, UNH midfielder Amy Avitabile fired in a corner right to forward Marianne Rivard, who headed the ball past junior goalkeeper Catie Bukowski (Odenton, Md./Arundel/South Carolina) to give the Wildcats the early lead.

In the 81st minute, Rivard crossed the ball to forward Michelle Sheehan, who scored her sixth goal of the season past a diving Bukowski.
