BOX SCORE

HOW IT HAPPENED

Elms jumped out to an early 3-0 lead behind goals from Ellie Serra, Brittany North and Olivia Keane before Francesca Davitt closed out the quarter scoring her first of the game off a feed from Madison Gabel to extend the score to four.

Five minutes into the second quarter, North struck again netting her second of the game to give the Blazers a five-goal cushion heading into halftime.

Albertus came out of the break with a little pep in its step, recording three shot attempts, two of which were on goal, but solid keeper work by Elms kept the Falcons off the board.

The momentum of the game began to shift back to the Blazers as Elizabeth Collins scored at the 40th minute-mark to increase the score to 6-0. Gabel closed out the scoring at the 50th minute with her first goal of the game.
