HOW IT HAPPENED

  • Sophomore Rachel Canedy (Woodstock, Conn.) and senior Megan Steele (Auburn, Maine) capped off the five-goal Saints start to the first quarter, as the Emmanuel defense held Elms off the board, giving the Saints a 5-0 lead with 10:27 left in the quarter.
  • After scoring three more times, giving the Saints an 8-0 advantage, the Blazers netted four-in-a-row in a 3:04 span, all scored by senior Anna-Elise Pikul (Belchertown, Mass.), cutting the Elms deficit to 8-4.
  • Between the end of the first quarter and the entire second quarter, eight of the next nine goals belonged to Emmanuel, as the Saints opened up a 16-5 lead by halftime.
  • The Saints outscored the Blazers 4-0 in the third quarter, increasing their lead to 20-5 with one quarter left to play. Emmanuel would again outscore Elms in the fourth, 5-1, as the Saints stay unbeaten in 2023 with their 25-6 victory.
