Katja Dunlap '18 had a hand in three of Hamilton’s four goals and Rachel Cooley '18 and Emily Dumont ’18 combined to post the shutout.
The Continentals (1-4-2 overall) outshot the host Pioneers 26-6 on their way to their highest scoring game since blanking SUNY Canton 7-0 last September.

Seven minutes later, Dunlap assisted on a goal by Victoria Freeman ’16 that gave the visitors a 2-0 lead.
Hamilton added two more goals in the second half. Katie Tenefrancia ’19 scored her second goal in as many days and Darby Philbrick ’18 picked up her fourth career goal, closing out the scoring in the 62nd minute. Becca Rees ’16 assisted on Tenefrancia’s goal (she now has 32 career points) and Dunlap raised her career total to 19 points by setting up Philbrick’s goal.
