HOW IT HAPPENED:
- The Bears got the scoring started in the first quarter just 5:39 in. Madison Ellis would find herself out of the arc on the right side, looking in for a teammate.

Senior defenders Sydney Alto (Chelmsford, MA), Riley O'Brien (Townsend, MA), and Madison Araujo (Stoughton, MA) all played solid games, keeping the Bears from scoring on any of their eight penalty corners.
