Urbana took an early 1-0 lead on Sunday before the Arrows rattled off six straight goals.

Another Burke goal followed by three more Patterson tallies had UC up 6-1 with 17:33 left in the first period.

Hannah Walters scored an unassisted goal to cut UC's lead to four but the Arrows went on a 3-0 run to widen the gap.

Patterson's fourth goal of the day made it a 7-2 game and then her classmates Anika Aberegg and Sarah Kiefer got into the act to extend the lead to 9-2.

Five straight Blue Knight goals brought the home team within two at 9-7 but UC finished strong, scoring four of the game's final five goals. Aberegg scored with 21:51 left and Burke followed with another score with a little more than 17 minutes to play.
