  • The Mammoths held Wentworth to just three shots in the second half, all on target and stopped by Tammaro, while adding three goals to their name for the 5-0 final.

 

GOALKEEPERS

  • Junior Allison Haynes (Shelton, Mass.) made nine saves in net for Wentworth.
  • Tommaro earned her first win of the season in 62 minutes played with three saves, while Erica Sanders made one save in 27 minutes of relief.
