Keene State finishes its season with a 13-10-1 record.  Endicott advances to the ECAC finals on Sunday where they will play top seed and tournament host University of St. Joseph.  The Blue Jas defeated Colby-Sawyer 2-1 to move on to the championship game.

Endicott took over from there, scoring two quick goals in a span of two minutes early in the second half.  Freshman Paige Marinelli (Burlington, Conn.) tied the game at the 47:29 mark and senior Caitlin Peters (Salem, N.H.) put the Gulls up 2-1 with a goal two minutes later.
