How It Happened
- After two scoreless periods, there was plenty of drama and excitement in the third. The only goal came with 6:00 left. Abby Weiss '25 put a shot on goal from the bottom of the left faceoff circle and the puck popped out to the slot where Grace Puskar '27 took another shot. Jenna Guglielmi made the save again but didn't hold the puck and Porter poked in the rebound from near the right post.
- The game's first penalty wasn't called until a Hamilton player was sent to the box for tripping with just 1:36 remaining. The Cardinals pulled Guglielmi for a sixth skater and then had a 6-on-3 advantage with 20.1 seconds to go when another Continental was sent off for hooking. Wesleyan had five shot attempts including three on goal during its power play, but couldn't put one past Brown.
- The Cardinals recorded five of their six shots on goal in the third period in the final four minutes.
