Forde scored for the Wolves four minutes into the game on Tuesday and set the tone for the offense. The Wolves would start a run where they were scoring essentially every minute. Rosie Wallace (Oswego, N.Y. / Oswego) scored followed by Rylie Pratt (Ontario, N.Y. / Wayne). The Wolves continued to attack. Forde and Fassinger would each record a hat trick in the first quarter alone as the Wolves led 9-0 after one.

The game was in hand for the Wolves. Bonetti and Spin accounted for both of Keuka’s goals in the third quarter as well. In the fourth, Maddie Fassinger scored an acrobatic shot to make it 14-0.
