FRESHMEN FITTING IN: Four freshmen made their collegiate debuts in Tuesday's game… Abby Reilly (Brookfield, NY/Brookfield) was a threat on the offensive end as she had two breakaway opportunities, but was unable to find the back of the net…  Gabrielle Esposito (Rotterdam, NY/Mohonasen) and Jenna Mazza (Frankfort, NY/Sauquoit Valley) each chipped in on the attack with one shot apiece and Samantha Marko (Saratoga Springs, NY/Schuylerville) also earned playing time on the defensive end.

SCOUTING HILBERT: The Hawks wrapped up their 2014 campaign with an overall record of 4-11-1… Hilbert went 1-1 at the SUNY Poly Tournament last season, defeating Sage 1-0 before falling 2-0 to the Albany College of Pharmacy… Hilbert returns its two leading scorers from last season in Jennifer Colvin and Imarie Waller, who each tallied three goals on the year… This will be the first ever meeting between the two teams.
