MOMENTS THAT MATTERED

However, the Revs went on a 4-0 scoring run to end the first quarter to make it a 4-2 score going into the second frame. The second quarter was almost identical to the first as TIfft and Hadden scored again for the Colonials but the Revs once again outscored RMU 4-2 in the second frame.

RMU's first goal in the second half was scored by Jenna Irwin five minutes into the second quarter but by that time the Colonials were down by five goals.

Freshman Anabel Kreydt made an impact as she registered her first career goal with the Colonials to make it 12-7 in favor of the home team. Six minutes later, Jordan Anderson tallied her first goal of the game but the Colonials still had to play catch up as they trailed by six with seven minutes to go. Jerica Obee scored the last goal of the day for the Colonials on a free-position shot with 1:06 remaining but the Colonials couldn't complete the comeback.
