GAME HIGHLIGHTS

• After Amherst gained possession off the face-off in the Bantams' zone, the puck worked its way back to Dann at the point. Dann sent it across to Hohmann at the opposite point and back again before dishing it off to Alyssa Xu. Xu then executed a behind-the-back pass to Cara Mancini at the left post, who quickly fed it across the crease for Hohmann to tap it into the net with 6 minutes remaining in the first period.
• At 6:54 into the second period, Amherst's Mancini gained control of the puck in the right corner, curling back toward the blue line before sending a cross-ice pass to Dann. Dann collected it and fired a wrist shot, finding the back of the net.
• On a Mammoth power play, Annabel Raffin, from behind the net, started a series of passes up the ice that boosted offensive momentum. Raffin sent the puck off to Maeve Reynolds. Reynolds sent the puck across to neutral ice for Alya Abban to receive. Abban relayed the pass up to Marie-Eve Marleau for her to circle behind the Bantam's net with 10:20 remaining in the final period, coming close to securing another goal for Amherst.
