The third period saw dynamic shifts as the Camels equalized at 2-2 with a goal from Ashely Engle. Bridget McGann then notched another for the Camels, followed by Kylie McCarthy scoring the final goal with an empty net, solidifying the Camels’ win.
In goal, Jenna Guglielmi ’27 demonstrated her abilities by making 36 saves, while Devon Galizio secured the win for the Camels with 20 saves.
