GAME FLOW & NOTES:
- The Friars fired off five shots in the first 3:30 of play in the first period, including three on goal.
- On the Friars' sixth shot of attempt of the game (6:08), Lauren DeBlois (Lewiston, Maine) gave Providence a 1-0 lead on her second goal of the season.
- Isabelle Hardy (Oakville, Ontario) found the back of the net for her first career goal just two minutes and 19-seconds later (8:27) to give the Friars a 2-0 lead.
- The Friars cashed in on their first power-play opportunity of the game at 11:01 of the first period to take a 3-0 lead, as Sara Hjalmarsson netted her sixth goal of the season and team-best third power-play goal.
- Brown got its first power-play opportunity with 2:34 remaining in the first period, but the Friars were able to kill it off.
- Providence nearly took a 4-0 advantage in the closing seconds of play as Caroline Peterson (East Falmouth, Mass.) sent a shot off the cross bar.
- The Friars held a 16-5 advantage in shots during the opening 20 minutes of play, while Brown held a 10-8 edge in faceoffs.
- Providence got out on a 2-on-1 break led by Hjalmarsson just 5:09 into the second period. She fed the puck Hayley Lunny (Bedford, N.Y.) on the doorstep to put the Friars ahead, 4-0. It marked Lunny's fifth goal of the season.
- The Friars scored their second power-play goal of the game just shy of two-minutes later (7:06) as Meaghan Rickard (Coventry, R.I.) redirected the puck into the net off a feed from the left point.
- Lunny gave Providence a 6-0 lead with her second goal of the period at 9:50, as she redirected the puck in traffic in front of the net.
- Through two periods of action, the Friars held a 32-9 advantage in shots on goal.
- Hjalmarsson wasted no time getting Providence on the board in the third period as she notched her second power-play goal of the game just 24-seonds into the action.
- Hjalmarsson recorded the hat trick at the 6:02 mark of the third period as she put home a back-handed attempt on a breakaway. It marked just the second hat trick of her career, with the previous coming in her third career game as a Friar on Oct. 12, 2018 against Holy Cross.
- Whitney Dove and Ariane Julien finished off the scoring for the Friars with goals at 10:40 and 12:51, respectively.
- The Friars' 10 goals were the most scored by a team in Mayor's Cup history.

- Hjalmarsson's six points are the most by a player in the 25 years of the Mayor's Cup.  Cassidy MacPherson (2016), Cassidy Carels (2015) and Brooke Boquist (2015) held the previous mark for points with four each.
- Hjalmarsson also tied the single-game record for goals (three), becoming just the third player to tally a hat trick in the 25-year history of the Mayor's Cup. Blair Parent scored three for the Friars in 2016 and Brown's Kristy Zamora netted three goals in 2001.
