Tied at five at halftime, senior Sarah Williams (Bethesda, MD) gave Tufts a brief lead just three minutes into the second period. Bowdoin responded with a pair of goals from Lindsay McNamara and Christina Denitzio before the Jumbos started their decisive run.

First-year Amanda Roberts (Wenham, MA), who finished with a game-high five goals, scored twice in the 5-0 run sandwiched around tallies from sophomore Emily Johnson (Yarmouth, ME) and junior Chrissie Attura (Yarmouth, ME).
