BOX SCORE

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Monks jumped out to a commanding 4-0 lead after the first quarter. Saint Joseph's tallied a game-high 18 shots in the quarter, with four different players tallying a goal.

Saint Joseph's added two more goals in the second and one in both the third and fourth quarters to seal an 8-0 victory on its home turf. Libby Pomerleau led the way for the three-time defending Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) champs with six points on two goals and two assists.

Following a busy first quarter, Lyston settled in and made a whopping 27 stops through the rest of the game. Unfortunately, Lyston's defense did not translate into offense, as the Falcons did not register a shot in the contest.
