SCORING SUMMARY

First Half

(35' – Quinnipiac 1, Hartford 0): Freshman Kayla Mingachos won the ball back for the Bobcats in the right back position and tapped a 10-yard ball to lead senior Ally Grunstein, who was making a run down to the right corner. Grunstein took two touches to the end line and sent a driven ball to the front post. Sophomore Gretchen Kron chested the ball into the back of the net to give the Bobcats a 1-0 lead.

Second Half

(59' - Quinnipiac 2, Hartford 0): Kelsey Goldring took a free kick from approximately 35 yards out on the left side and sent it to the back-right post. Freshman Olivia Scott headed the ball in the air, and senior Kylie Lance headed again a second time past Hartford's keeper, Maia Perez.
