SCORING SUMMARY

(31' – Quinnipiac 1, Fairfield 0): The Bobcats got the scoring started when Kelsey Goldring (Armonk, New York) received a beautiful ball across the box from Ally Grunstein (Warren, New Jersey) and buried it in the back of the net to give Quinnipiac the 1-0 lead 17 minutes into the game. Lauren Triglione (West Newbury, Mass.) earned the second assist on the goal.
(43' – Quinnipiac 2, Fairfield 0): Quinnipiac extended its lead with two minutes remaining in the first half when Selena Salas (Elche-Alicante, Spain) received a ball at the top of the box from Grunstein and scored to push the Bobcats lead out to a deuce.
(43' – Quinnipiac 3, Fairfield 0): As the Bobcats changed sides, the momentum did not as Goldring found herself in the box once again scoring on another cross from Grunstein. Grunstein ran up the right side and played the ball into the box where Goldring one-timed the ball into the net for her second goal of the game.
