Maddie Castle had two shots on goal. Hyde, Ashley Kraiza, and Kayla Rivers each had one shot on goal. Kara Bishop (W, 8-2-1) saved all five shots she faced to preserve her eighth shutout win of the season.
The game was scoreless through the opening 45 minutes of play. The Saints dictated the pace and outshot Lawrence Tech 13-3 in the first half. Blue Devil goalie, Rebecca Almandoz (L, 1-6) made all six of her saves in the first frame to keep SHU off the board and maintain the deadlock.
