Highlights: Brodeur opened the scoring, putting back a rebound off the goalie’s pads four minutes into the game. Parrotto scored off a scramble in the circle with two minutes left in the first quarter, but Kennett scored with no time left on the clock off a penalty corner. The Eagles tied the game halfway through the second quarter, but Thompson scored off a rebounded Keyser shot with less than a minute to go in the third to secure the win for MV.
Coach’s quote: “I am so proud of the fight the girls showed today, especially in the fourth quarter. We executed on scoring opportunities early which we have been preaching all season. They played aggressive, made smart decisions and never gave up. This was a great late season win against a very tough Kennett team. We look forward to finishing out our season strong at the end of this week.” – MV’s Jennifer Colgan
