Tabb's goal came at the 6:37 mark of the second period, when she tipped in a rebound in front of the net to give the Friar's a 1-0 lead. Butsch added an insurance goal, on a power play, four minutes into the second period as she beat NU goalie Erica Silva to give PC a 2-0 lead, Tabb and sophomore Kim Mathias (Ballston Lake, N.Y.) assisted on the play.

Friar netminder Sara DeCosta stopped 35 shot for the shutout win, while Silva turned away 19 shots in the loss.
