HOW IT HAPPENED

  • From the opening whistle, the Knights took control. After Mairead O'Connell won the opening draw, Mackenzie Clark's first shot was saved. Manhattanville failed to clear the ball, and after Clark collected the ground ball, Jaylee Killgore's shot went wide. On the reset, Avery Ditze scored her 17th goal of the season off an assist from Ella Longacre just 90 seconds into the game.

  • After a turnover caused by Clark, Longacre scored her first goal of the game and fourth of the season off an assist from Clark to make it 2-0 with just under 12 minutes remaining in the first quarter.

  • Jaylee Killgore extended the lead to 4-1 after another caused turnover by Longacre, scoring her 16th goal of the season off an assist from Meghan Graham.

  • After drawing a foul in the critical scoring area, Allyson Reidenbach converted a free-position goal—her first of the season—to push the lead to 8-1.
