With their backs against the wall, Saint Anselm fired 14 shots in the third quarter, which was capped off by Amanda Lewandowski, putting the Hawks on the board with 1:07 left in the third. The seven-seeded Saint Anselm continued their offensive push into the fourth quarter and eventually tied the game in the early portion of the frame.
