GOAL-BY-GOAL

- Parker opened the scoring just 53 seconds into the proceedings when she knocked home a rebound off an Alexis Crossley shot.

- Penn State tied the game at the 3:05 mark of the period, but 20 seconds later Parker had her second of the period thanks to assists from juniors Nina Rodgers and Victoria Bach.

- Sophomore Sammy Davis made it 3-1 with 5:00 to play in the opening period when she redirected a Sarah Steele shot on the power play.

- Leading 3-2 in the second period, Parker completed her hat trick with a sensational wrist shot that went over Daniela Paniccia's glove and underneath the crossbar.

- Sophomore Connor Galway notched her first collegiate goal with a blast from the point at the 16:00 mark of the second stanza.

- Senior Maddie Elia, already with two assists on the day, added a power-play goal with 2:01 to play in the middle period. It came on the heels of a superb stop from senior goaltender Victoria Hanson on a shorthanded breakaway bid.

- Sophomore Mary Grace Kelley closed the game on a high note with a great individual effort thar led to her first goal of the season. Parker disrupted a pass in the defensive zone and Kelley did the rest, skating up the right wing and eventually sending the puck into the back of the net.
