The Details

• Freshman Paige Marjanski's first career goal provided the difference on the offensive end, but a career-high 12 saves from junior Hanna Copley made it stand as Stonehill won for the third time over the last four matches.
• Copley's 12 saves preserved her second shutout of the season and surpasses her previous season-high of nine saves against then No. 3-ranked College of Saint Rose on October 2. The clean sheet is the fourth of the season for Stonehill as a team.

  Marjanski provided the scoring in a wide-open match that featured a combined 41 shots in the 71^st minute as she took a pass on the left flank from freshman Hannah Wheelden, turned and dribbled across the top of the 18 to create some space for a drive into the upper right corner of the goal. Marjanski's first career goal comes in just her third appearance of the season after entering as a halftime substitution.
• Freshman Julia Walsh finished with six saves in the Assumption goal, nearly matching Copley with some spectacular stops of her own.
