Jenna Hendrikx scored her seventh goal of the season in the first period, and Jennifer MacLean scored a one-timer on a pass from Hendrikx early in the third. The Purple Eagles (4-4-2 overall, 1-1-0 CHA) return to Dwyer Arena after a six-game road trip on Saturday night to face Robert Morris in their “Pink the Rink” game to promote breast cancer awareness.

Michelle James, Hannah Hedrick and Kari Honomichl had double-doubles as the Purple Eagles (20-7 overall, 13-3 MAAC) broke a 16-year-old school record for victories in a season.
