• In the third quarter, each offense found its stride as Layne Kennedy opened the scoring off an assist from Macy Greene to give the Macs an early 1-0 lead. Unfortunately, Moravian had answer scoring a trio of goals in the next 10 minutes of play to tie the game and take the 3-1 lead over the Mighty Macs.
• In the 52^nd minute, Willa Thompson scored off an assist from Macy Greene to trim the deficit to 3-2 before the game was delayed due to Lightning in the area marking the second home game in a row that the game was delayed due to lightning in the area.
• Following the second lightning delay in as many games, the game came to its conclusion relatively uneventfully as the Macs fell by a final score of 3-2.
• Randi Kuhar worked hard in goal and made three huge stops to keep the Macs in the game throughout while her counterpart Ashley Kunsman made six nice saves of her own in the victory.
