Meanwhile the Bears tallied a total of 32 shots on the day, 22 in the first and 10 in the second half. Owls goalie Katie Alpert did all she could recording 11 saves on the day for Bryn Mawr.
Bryn Mawr's defense did toughen up in the second half as they held Ursinus to five goals but the damage had been done. The Bears emerged victorious 17-0 when all was said and done.
Five different Ursinus tallied two goals on the day while seven other players found the net as well. The win moved the Bears to 3-8 overall and 2-2 in the Centennial Conference. Ursinus will return home this Wednesday night, April 8th to take on Scranton at 7:00 PM.
