Junior Stephanie Hunt (Brookfield, Conn.) notched a hat trick in the setback for the host Buccaneers (0-8, 0-4 MASCAC), who also received a goal and two assists from senior Christina Murphy (Forestdale, Mass.).  Senior Dahlia Seggelin (Sharon, Mass.) tallied as well for Massachusetts Maritime, which received a helper off the stick of senior Ashley Solari (Sandwich, Mass.).

Freshman Hayley Barner (Westwood, Mass.) picked up her second win of the season with a five save effort in goal for Bridgewater State, while junior Mikayla Correia (Dartmouth, Mass.) made seven stops in the setback for Massachusetts Maritime, as the Bears outshot the Buccaneers by a 22-11 margin overall and held a 15-6 edge in draw controls for the contest.
