HOW IT HAPPENED 

• It was a tight opening 15 minutes between Emerson and Clark for after three minutes passed, Borelli put the Cougars on the board on an unassisted net at 12:08 for the 1-0 lead. 
• Three minutes after Clark took the 1-0 lead, a free-position shot from Reyes slipped past Conners to lock the score at 1-all at the 9:50 mark. With 54 seconds left in the first, Basic put in the go-ahead net to push Emerson up to the 2-1 edge going into the second.
• Emerson turned 14 shots in the second frame into six goals and turned six into goals as the Lions propelled to the six-goal lead at 8-2. 
• Mallon began the 6-0 scoring run and punched in the third Emerson goal at 12:57 as the hosts gained the two-goal advantage before Burns fired in the fourth marker at 8:14 to move the score to 4-1.
• From the 5:55 mark to 45 seconds left in the half, Krosin spread out three goals to complete at hat trick with a goal from Rein snuck in a 4:50 to power Emerson to the 8-1 advantage. 
• With 20 ticks left in the first half, Conners tallied an unassisted marker for Clark to move the score to 8-2. 
• The Emerson defense made a stand in the third and held Clark off the board, which allowed the Lions to use the entire stanza to tally seven more goals to extend their lead to 15-2. 
• It took Longstreet 16 seconds into the third to put in Emerson's ninth goal before she, Reyes and Krosin helped bump the Lions' lead into double figures at 10 at 12-2. 
• The same trio rounded out the Emerson offense's third with another three goals as the Lions looked at a 15-2 cushion going into the fourth.
• Clark got back a pair of tallies in the fourth from Fogarty and McCarty to inch back within 11 at 15-4 at 5:42, but the defense would hold the score at 15-4 for the remaining five minutes before Reyes iced the 16-4 victory with nine seconds left in regulation.
