How it Happened

The Warriors resumed conference play on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in North Andover with a great crowd in attendance.

The first half was all even until Merrimack's Taylor Pedra broke the scoreless tie for her second goal of the season. The second half saw more fireworks from both teams. Merrimack's Ella Cormier would score her first goal of the season at 61:03 to make it a 2-0 Warriors lead. Adrianna Marinello would tack on a goal of her own nine minutes later and the Warriors would solidify their advantage. As time winded down, the Peacocks would respond by scoring two goals.
