Johanna Douglas (Essex, Conn.), the top scorer in NAC east, netted five goals to lead Green Mountain, while Malkin added two goals and an assist and Astor also had a free-position tally to go along with her game-winner. Emily Brillon (Westminster, Mass.) also had a helper in the winner

Douglas and Astor opened the scoring for Green Mountain with a 2-0 lead over the first 13 minutes. UMF took 16:48 to crack the scoring column, but battled back with a Levesque unassisted goal with 3:04 remaining in the first tying the contest at 4-4 at the half.

Douglas responded with a pair of scores followed by a St. Germain free-position finish to tie the game at 7-7 with 13:52 left.

The offenses went dormant for nearly 10 minutes before Malkin broke the silence with 3:59 remaining. Levesque tied the game at 8-8 with 2:31 to play, but Astor came through for the Eagles with her breakaway score for the 9-8 win.
