HIGHLIGHTS

• The AMCATS answered back in the 63^rd minute when freshman forward Jordyn Butler (Fitchburg, MA) took a lead in pass from graduate student midfielder Keannah Dunsmore (Georgia, VT) beating the defender and forcing the goalie to come off her line and fired a shot just inside the right post. The goal was Butler's second of the year.
• The Blazers again took the lead in the 79^th minute as Caroline Wilcox scored off an assist from Kayla Pasquel.
