\n\tFollowing both starting goalies in Sophie Pasnak<\/a> and Riley Schildt registering a save in the first two minutes, FDU got the scoring started just past the three minute mark.
\n\tNewcomer Logan Pilon<\/a> responded midway through the period for her second goal of the season.
\n\tJulia Kerr<\/a> helped aid the offensive attack with a score of her own, but the Knights carried a 4-2 lead into the second quarter.
\n\tStarting off the second frame was Kerr again, putting the Jaspers within one after a goal 11 seconds in.
\n\tFacing a three goal deficit, Ella Brunette<\/a>, Kerr, and Brooke Leonard<\/a> scored a trio of goals to knot up the contest at six apiece.
\n\tWith roughly three and a half to play until the break, Brunette gave Manhattan their first lead of the afternoon, forcing a goalie change on behalf of FDU.
\n\tIt was Brunette again to start the second half, tallying her third for a hat trick 61 seconds into the third quarter.
\n\tThe Knights tied the game with just under four minutes to play off a free position opportunity.
\n\tWith under 10 seconds to play in the third, FDU took the lead back off\u00a0a man-up.\u00a0
\n\tFour more insurance goals were scored by the Knights by the eight minute mark of the final quarter, giving them a five goal advantage.
\n\tLauren Maher<\/a> brought that deficit down to three by the four minute mark, but it was too little, too late for the Green and White.
<\/p>\n
\n\tFreshman midfielder Ella Brunette<\/a> and Sophomore attacker Julia Kerr<\/a> both accumulated three goals, with the former securing her first collegiate hat trick.\u00a0
\n\tFreshman attacker Logan Pilon<\/a> followed them closely with two scores of her own, adding an assist to her point total as well.
\n\tSenior defender Naomi Aristone<\/a> and Redshirt Junior defender Julia Harvey<\/a> each caused a pair of turnovers, with the latter causing her first of the season.
\n\tJunior midfielder Audrey Ziff<\/a> won the most draw controls with five, increasing her tally to 12 in 2026.
\n\tRedshirt Junior goalkeeper Sophie Pasnak<\/a> logged eight\u00a0saves through a full 60 minutes.
