GAME ONE: Amherst 1, Hamilton 2 (OT)
  • The Continentals opened the scoring at 78:08 following a tightly contested, but scoreless, first half and an Amherst turnover. Recovering the ball in front of the net, Olivia Morrow gave Hamilton a 1-0 lead as she sent a shot off the Mammoths' keeper and over the goal line.
  • Tying the score in the 85th minute, Alexa Juarez '22 came through in the clutch for the home team as she converted on a penalty kick following a foul by the Hamilton goalie to force OT.
  • Capturing the victory 2:27 into overtime, Morrow once again found the back of the net as she found the ball in a scrum following a save by Mika Fisher '24, cut right, and slid a low shot into the opposite corner to give Hamilton the 2-1 win.
  • Amherst owned the edge in shots (19-10), shots on goal (9-8) and corner kicks (6-2).

GAME TWO: Amherst 8, Keene State 0
  • The first of three Amherst goals in the opening half, Hastie netted what stood as the game-winner with 25:57 on the clock following a throw in from the right side. Collecting the ball, Juarez found Hastie who snuck a shot inside the right post.
  • Doubling their advantage three minutes later, Natalie Landau '22 powered a low shot into the opposite corner with an assist from Hastie to pot her first of four goals in the game.
