Alvillar, Carey and Sara Taffe '17 all finished with a goal and an assist. Carey converted a pass from Megan Fitzgerald '16 6:49 into the second period and Avillar put the Continentals up 3-0 just under four minutes later. Bartlett and Katie Parkman '17, who have both scored a team-best five points this winter, assisted on Alvillar's goal. Ianthe Lekometros '16 picked up Hamilton's third goal of the second period with 5:36 left before intermission. Ahern and Carey were credited with assists.

Ahern's three assists were the program's highest single-game total since Bartlett assisted on three goals in a 5-4 overtime goal at Colby Feb. 17, 2013.

Hamilton killed off all five Canton power-play opportunities; the Continental penalty kill unit ranks 10th nationally, thwarting 91.7 percnet of opponent power plays.
