"It's really good to beat a good team," Floerchinger said. "A lot of teams will begin to let up in practice at this time of year, but we've just been punishing our team in practice, and it shows. Every 50/50 ball out there, we got a hand on."

Sophomore Danielle McCarthy put on a show in goal, making several athletic saves to keep the score 8-2 heading into the final frame. By the time the defense solved McCarthy from outside, the game was long out of reach.

The eight-team tournament began with a game between the Crimson and Boston College, and as expected, it was over early. Gunderson and freshman Jane Humphries combined to score five goals in the opening period as the Crimson jumped out to a four-goal lead.

Humphries scored at will on Saturday, notching seven scores, and Gunderson added four.

McCarthy held the Eagles to a single goal in the first half, and senior Carine Williams performed clean-up duty in the second.
