Amy Campbell and Lauren Strazzula both had one goal and one assist, while Anne Geraghty, Casey Thomas, Katie Briody, and Lane McVey all tallied once. McVey picked up her first collegiate goal.

Sarah Warnke made three saves in the first half for Colby and Keryn Meierdiercks played the second half and stopped six shots.

The Mules, who had a 46-20 advantage in shots, fell behind 2-1 in the opening 10 minutes of the game. Campbell scored just 1:19 into the game, but Endicott (2-1) received goals from Michelle Loizzo and Rebecca Bushnell.

Colby scored the final five goals of the first half to take a 6-2 margin at intermission. Campbell scored again with 17:14 to play to trigger a three-goal run over the next minute. Kramer and Nickerson also tallied at 16:52 and 16:27 remaining. Donegan and Strazzula had the other goals before the half.
