HOW IT HAPPENED:
 

• A pair of unassisted scores within the game's first 2:20 put the Hawks on top early in the game. Freshman Kaitlyn D'Andrea found the back of the net 86 seconds in before junior Billy McLaughlin kept the rally going less than two minutes later.
• But UMBC answered and took a four-goal lead behind a 6-0 run. Three scores within a span of 77 seconds erased the Hawks' advantage and made it a one-goal Retrievers' lead.
• Carolyn Jamison struck three times during that stretch, which was halted by Birdie Montes' fifth goal of the season with 21:36 left. Despite slashing its lead in half at 6-3, Hartford was unable to come any closer, as UMBC ended the half on a 10-0 run to go up, 16-3, at the break.
• The Retrievers' scoring spurt continued into the second, as they outscored the Hawks, 8-0, to come away with the 24-3 win.
