First Half

Selena Salas also earned an assist on the goal.
(44' – Quinnipiac 2, Niagara 0): Freshman Olivia Scott made it 2-0 less than 20 minutes later, finishing in traffic out in front of the goal. Lauren Wendland touched the ball slightly to her left to Scott, then Scott poked it into the back of the net.
