ABOUT THAT FOUR-GAME WINNING STREAK

• The last time St. Lawrence won four straight games was November 2-17, 2018. (Note: The Saints did win four straight last season, but one of those games was an exhibition win over the Korean National Team.)

STRIKE HARD, STRIKE FIRST, NO MERCY

• The first goal has been a good predictor of who will win St. Lawrence and Colgate women's hockey games this season.
• The Saints have scored first in seven games, going 6-1-0 in those contests. St. Lawrence has allowed the first goal in five games, losing all five.
• Colgate is 10-1-1 when scoring first and 4-5-0 when their opponent scores first. The Raiders have not lost a game this season when leading after two periods, boasting a 9-0-0 record in those games.

COVID-19'S IMPACT ON SCHEDULE, PERSONNEL

• St. Lawrence head coach Chris Wells '92 P'23 and senior captain Skylar Podvey were not available in Friday's game and will not be available for Sunday's championship game due to COVID-19 protocols. Saints assistant coaches Mare MacDougall Bari and Ted Wisner will share game-day coaching duties in Wells' absence.
• St. Lawrence was forced to postpone several games in late January and early February due to COVID-19 protocols. As a result of those postponements, and a campus-wide lockdown at Clarkson in mid-February, the Saints were unable to play the full 12-game conference schedule, missing one game against Clarkson and one game with Quinnipiac.

SECONDARY SCORING TAKES CENTER STAGE

• The Saints' top line of Julia Gosling, Anna Segedi and Brittney Gout has been quite successful this season. In the team's first 10 games, they accounted for 10 of the Saints 19 goals and 29 of the team's 46 points, but in the last two games, other players have stepped into the spotlight, scoring seven of the Saints' nine goals and netting 15 of the 18 points.
• Charlea Pedersen scored a pair of goals in Monday's 5-1 win over Clarkson, and Jessica Poirier scored two in the 4-3 overtime win in the semifinals. Both players also had an assist earlier this week, as well.
• Taylor Lum has one goal and three assists in the last two games, and Shailynn Snow and Kristina Bahl both had three assists in the last two games. Aly McLeod registered her first assist in Monday's game, then scored the overtime game-winner on Friday. Gabi Jones added an empty-net goal for the Saints on Monday.

MORGAN RECORD BOOK WATCH

• Lucy Morgan recorded four shutouts last season as a rookie, tied for fifth on the Saints' single-season shutout list. The four shutouts also gets her on the Saints' career top-10 list in the category, tied for 10th.
• She moved into 10th on the all-time saves list earlier this season and enters Sunday's game with 919 career saves.
• Her save percentage of .936 this season would rank second the Saints' single-season list. Jess Moffat '06 set the program record in 2005-06 with a .942 save percentage.
