Playing with just 14 active players, the Bantams saw one of their best scoring opportunities less than 30 seconds into action when first-year Paige Kehoe (Manaswuan, N.J.) carried the puck up ice in a 2-on-1 situation and had clean look that was turned away by Colby goaltender Nina Prunster. 
 
The Mules scored their first of seven goals at the 1:24 mark as Bri Michaud-Nolan was assisted by Collen Donoghue. Meg Rittenhouse led Colby with two scores and also chipped in an assist on the evening. In addition to Rittenhouse and Michaud-Nolan, Colby's other goal scorers were Anna Staton, Paige Larose, McKinley Karpa and Anya Jiang. The Mules netted three in the first period, one in the second and dumped in three more in the final frame while going 2-for-5 on power plays throughout the contest. 
 
The Bantams were outshot 53-22 with Prunster collecting 22 saves for Colby. Meanwhile, sophomore goaltender Hannah Leclair (Kensington, Prince Edward Island) recorded a career high 45 saves in net for Trinity.
