Plymouth State tacked on another goal late in the second quarter for a 4-0 advantage at the half and Adamske snagged her first of the afternoon late in the third quarter. Graduate student

The Basics:
- Plymouth State 7, UMaine Farmington 0
- Plymouth State (3-2)
- UMaine Farmington (0-5)
How it Happened:
- Stowell opened the scoring with a tip in from the middle of the circle 5:34 into the contest and she doubled the lead just over a minute later.
- Coleman pushed the margin to 3-0 after converting a feed from graduate student Mackenzie Labrie (Canaan, N.H.) at the 9:26 mark as PSU took an early 3-0 lead.
- With only 40 seconds remaining in the first half, Labrie flicked a shot over the UMaine Farmington goalkeeper's head to make it a 4-0 advantage at the break.
- The third quarter remained scoreless for much of the frame, though Plymouth State continued to control the pace of play. Adamske snuck one past the Beavers' goalie with just 20 seconds left to push the margin to 5-0.
- The Panthers worked a beautiful give-and-go off a corner as Salzillo buried the feed from Stowell just 1:18 into the fourth quarter to stretch the lead to 6-0, and Adamske rounded out the scoring with a blast off a corner with just under seven minutes remaining to account for the final score.
