• The Leopards had three chances in a span of just under eight minutes, with Montville putting a shot on net and sophomore Lauren Bradley (Lumberton, N.J.) taking a shot that hit the crossbar. At the 37:13 mark, Montville connected on her first of the season when classmate Madelyn Seder (Marlborough, Mass.) sent a pass towards the box where Montville put home a shot to the upper right.

• Eastern Connecticut had a pair of chances in the 63rd minute when freshman Katelyn Herbert (Bethpage, N.Y.) took a shot that was blocked by the Wentworth defense. She collected the rebound and put a shot on net that was saved by junior Adrianna Arona (Westfield, Mass.).
• Aron made a pair of saves 74 seconds apart in the 77th and 78th minutes to keep the game tied. The Warriors had a shot attempt go wide with 48 seconds left and, with time winding down, freshman Meghan Barilone (Bennington, Vt.) broke up a pass with a tackle in the box as the contest ended in a tie.
