BRIEF: Senior Alexis DiGiovanni shined on senior day, tallying four assists to break the school record for career assists and assists in a season.

FLOW:
A senior from Plymouth, Michigan, Lauren Allard, stole the show early on, scoring the first of three Warrior goals in the opening minute. Lawrence Tech added a tally before junior Tayler Campbell made it 4-1 Warriors. The Blue Devils cut the lead to one with two goals in six minutes, but junior Alexa Winter netted her second of the game and freshman Kristina Scott added a tally to push the lead back to three.
 
The visitors answered with four of the next five goals, the lone Warrior tally coming from Winter, to tie the score at 7. Junior Aubri Hazen netted her 11th goal of the season put the Orange and Black up one, 8-7, at the half.
 
Tech opened the second half with five unanswered goals, three from Winter, to take a 13-7 lead five minutes into the period. The teams traded off the next three markers before back-to-back tallies from Winter and DiGiovanni made it a seven score game.
 
The Blue Devils kept up the fight, scoring five of the final seven goals, but a pair of Vikstrom markers down the stretch helped the Orange and Black preserve the win, 19-15.
