Strohecker finished the day with a hat trick to pace her team.

Strohecker again found the back of the net at 36:03. The goal was complimented by a Leah Alexander assist putting the Huskies up by 2.

Hershey, who pressured the Husky defense all game long finally got one past the Husky keeper; Bailey McNitt, cutting the lead to 2-1 at 53:07. Scoring Hershey’s unassisted goal was Catherine Martin.
