Meanwhile, with just seconds remaining in the half, Endicott goaltender Taylor Farrin (Danvers, Mass) made a sprawling save moving to her left to keep the Endicott lead at 1-0 going into halftime.

Then, midway through the fourth quarter, Poulin gave the Gulls their insurance goal, getting on the end of a beautiful lead pass from Kristen McCarthy (Danvers, Mass.) and putting it home to give the Gulls a 2-0 lead.
