How it Happened
The Owls leading goal scorer Haile Ratajack wasted little time to get the scoring parade started for KSC as she opened the scoring just under two minutes into the contest, a goal that would start a string of ten straight to open the game for Keene State. On a feed from Jackie DeAngelis, Ratajack would open the scoring for the Owls in doing so picking up her 21^st goal of the season, adding to a career best. KSC wasted little time in the first half to collect goals, getting two quick goals in 38 seconds from Ali Daisy to give KSC the 3-0 lead. Brigid Casey would find twine for the next two Owl goals giving KSC the 6-0 advantage just ten minutes into the contest.

In the half, junior Emma Goodridge picked up her first goal of the season, as well as freshman Keely Alterio picking up an assist on the Brigid Casey tally, grabbing her first career collegiate point. 
 
The second half brought more of the same offensive success for the Owls as they found the goal three minutes into the half as Haile Ratajack continued her offensive outburst to give the Owls the ten-goal advantage. Before the Owls were able to find goal for the 13^th time of the afternoon, Rhode Island College struck for third of the afternoon when Hannah Ambrosia took advantage of a free position opportunity and slotted her first of the year for the Anchorwomen, and third goal in the contest for RIC. Brigid Casey and Megan Gorham would answer the RIC tally by giving the Owls an eleven-goal advantage in the contest. Casey picked up her fourth and final goal of the afternoon, where Gorham picked up her one and only goal on an assist from Ali Daisy. KSC would end the game with a goal in the final two minutes of a free position attempt Ali Daisy to give Keene State the 17-4 win as the Owls move to 3-1 in LEC and the Rhode Island College Anchorwomen drop their third straight conference game on the season.
