  • Just before the half, redshirt freshman midfielder Anniina Sankoh put one in the back of the net to give AIC their first lead of the night on a free kick from junior back Paige Medeiros.
  • In the second half, red shirt freshman forward Josefine Stendahl would give the Yellow Jackets a comfortable lead, scoring an impressive goal on a shot across from the right side to the left post. Junior forward Jocylyn Deome earned an assist on the play.
  • AIC would hold on to that lead, beating Stonehill and improving to 4-3 on the season.

BUZZWORTHY:
