The Andover girls took advantage of Exeter's 8 penalties, with both goals coming on power play opportunities. Peyton Kennedy '25 buried a rebound of a beautiful one-timer by Keira Bruen '26 (second assist to Olivia McManus '23) to open the scoring with 2:58 left in the first period. Lulu Rourke '23 added a goal just over a minute into the second period on another power play, this time assisted by linemate Julia Simon '23.
