HOW IT HAPPENED: 

  • The Rams broke a scoreless tie with 42 seconds remaining in the first quarter as sophomore forward Brandi Core (Medway) converted from nine yards out off a short crossing pass from freshman forward Madalyn Carr (Douglas). The goal marked Core’s third of the season. 
  • The Bears answered 5:28 into the second quarter as Camara scored in transition on a two-on-one. Camara beat the FSU netminder with a shot inside the left post off a short feed from sophomore forward Hannah Rolfe (Easton). 
  • The game remained knotted at 1-1 through regulation. Just over two minutes into the overtime session, the Bears were awarded a penalty corner. Junior forward Bailey Turner (Dedham) sent the corner attempt out to Camara who fired a shot from just inside the circle that snuck past the Framingham keeper and into the left side of the cage. The goal marked Camara’s third of the season as she tied senior forward Katie Swart (Bridgewater) for the team lead.
