NOTES
- Southern New Hampshire is unbeaten in its last six contests (4-0-2) and has captured three straight.
- The win jumped the Penmen from fifth in the NE10 standings up to third. SNHU would host an NE10 Championship quarterfinal match as the No. 3 seed with a win in its regular-season finale, though it has other paths to a home contest.
- SNHU leads the all-time series with Pace, 15-6-2, and has won five of the last six meetings, including three-in-a-row on the road. The last time the Setters successfully defended their home turf was Oct. 9, 2016 (2-0).
- Roulston's two tallies were her fifth and sixth goals of the season, as well as the ninth and 10th of her career. Roulston, who ranks second on the team in goals and points (13), has five goals in the last four matches, including a pair of multi-goal performances.
- Schofield's goal was the eighth of her first season with the Penmen. All eight goals have come in the last six matches. She leads the team in both goals and points (18), while ranking fourth and fifth in the league in those respective categories.
- The goal for Gantelius is the fifth of her rookie campaign.
- The Penmen are now 51-22-18 (.659) over their last 91 matches dating back to the start of the 2017 campaign.
UP NEXT
- The Penmen close the regular season Wednesday, Nov. 1 (6 p.m.) when they play host to Bentley University at Ouellette Stadium.
