The Tigers’ offense kept churning along in the third, finding the net four more times to open up a 9-4 lead heading into the game’s final quarter.

NO. 2 MICHIGAN 7, NO. 7 BUCKNELL 1

The Wolverines held the Bison scoreless for nearly three quarters, as Michigan easily advanced to the semifinals with a 7-1 win over Bucknell in the third game of the tournament.

The Wolverines tallied three goals in the first and added another before halftime to take a 4-0 lead into the half. Michigan would extend its lead to 6-0 before the Bison finally got on the board with 0:43 left in the third.

NO. 4 HARTWICK 10, NO. 5 HARVARD 3

After dropping two lopsided matches to the Hawks earlier this season, the Crimson had a bit of success early in its opening match, trailing just 3-2 after one period of play.

Harvard kept up its strong play in the second quarter as well, holding Hartwick to one goal to stay within two of the Hawks at the half.

“As compared to our two previous games against them, our performance [in this contest] was great,” Mehaffey said. “We showed such an improvement, and I’m pleased with how we did.”

But a three-goal third period gave Hartwick some breathing room, as the Crimson could only muster one of its own.

Freshman driver Vivian Liao led Harvard with two goals, while Mehaffey added one.

NO. 1 INDIANA 11, NO. 8 GW 4

The top-seeded Hoosiers fell behind 1-0 early in the first period, but answered with five straight goals to take a 5-1 lead into halftime and cruise into the semifinals Saturday morning.

The Colonials got on the board twice in the third, but Indiana matched it for a 7-3 advantage heading into the game’s final quarter. The Hoosiers tacked on four more goals in the fourth to close out the victory in the tournament’s opening game.
