\n\tManhattan got off to one of their fastest starts this season, with the first four strikes coming by way of the visitors.
\n\tMaya Metz<\/a> got things going with a free position opportunity 56 seconds in, with Ella Brunette<\/a> and Julia Kerr<\/a> following up within a minute of the first goal.
\n\tBrunette fired home her second of the night off a feed from Brooke Leonard<\/a> for the initial four spot.\u00a0
\n\tAfter the Paladins cut the lead in half, Metz secured her first hat trick of 2026, capitalizing off two man-up chances.
\n\tKeeping the scoring going for the second, Metz then tallied her fourth and fifth to put the Jaspers up 8-5 less than five minutes into period two.\u00a0
\n\tKerr found her second scoring chance and took advantage to give the Green and White a two goal edge at the halftime break.
\n\tLauren Maher<\/a> and Brunette tacked on another pair by late in the third frame, re-securing the four goal advantage they held in the first.
\n\tFurman began to take control in the latter half of the final quarter, as they tied the game at 12-all less than four minutes in.
\n\tThe Paladins scored the final three goals over the final 6:40 of action, ending the midweek showdown.

\n\tSenior attacker Maya Metz<\/a> put together a career-high five goals on eight shots, all of which came before the halftime horn.
\n\tSophomore attacker and Freshman midfielder\u00a0Julia Kerr<\/a> and Ella Brunette<\/a> followed closely behind with three, for what was Kerr’s sixth\u00a0hat trick of the season.
\n\tSenior defender and Junior midfielder Naomi Aristone<\/a> and Catie Edson<\/a>\u00a0tied for the most caused turnovers with two.
\n\tJunior midfielder Audrey Ziff<\/a> won the most draw controls with 15, a new career-high for the Virginia native.
\n\tRedshirt Junior goalkeeper Sophie Pasnak<\/a> logged 12 saves through a full 60 minutes, her highest mark since her season debut at UMass Lowell on Feb. 6.
