NOTES

Larkin's goal came with 20 minutes remaining in the opening frame and pushed the Bobcats' lead to 1-0.
The goal was Larkin's first of her career and her third point on the year after tallying an assist on Federico's goal at Hofstra earlier in the year.
Michelle Federico (Cheshire, Connecticut), who was selected to compete in Victory Sports Tours/ NFHCA Division I Senior Game, notched her team-leading sixth assist on Larkin's goal. She is just one assist away from tying her career-high, which was set in 2015 when she had seven.
With the assist, Federico also extended her team-lead in points with 16, which also stands as a career high.
With the assist, Federico now has a three-game point streak and has tallied at least a point in four of last six games.
Livy Golini (York, Main) made four saves en route to her second-career shutout.
Golini's last shutout came against Liberty on September 22, where she turned away four shots from the Flame in the Bobcats' 1-0 victory.
