STANDOUT PERFORMERS 
  • Butters – goal, assist
  • Orloff – goal, assist
  • Freshman Georgia Greene (Clifton Park, N.Y.) – goal
  • Graduate student Hannah Rose (Waterloo, Ontario) – 3 saves
KEY MOMENTS 
  • Butters put the Penmen ahead, 1-0, 7:14 before halftime when she ran on to a ball served into the near side of the box from senior Victoria Roulston (E. Falmouth, Mass.) and headed it inside the right post.
  • Greene doubled the Penmen lead 5:05 into the second half when her corner service caromed off the head of an Assumption defender and into the net to make it 2-0.
  • The Greyhounds sliced their deficit in half 95 seconds later, but Orloff added insurance in the 81st minute, heading home a rebound from senior Alyssa McCarthy (Stoneham, Mass.), whose own header off a corner service hit the crossbar and appeared to break the plane of the goal, but carried right out to Orloff for the no-doubter.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE 
  • Rose stopped three of the four shots that came her way.
  • Assumption 'keeper Julia Walsh turned away three of the six shots she faced.
  • SNHU outshot Assumption, 16-7, including 6-4 in shots on goal.
