WESTFIELD — Nicole Perez paced the Lions with a hat trick as Maeve Green and Abby Miller found the back of the cage one time each. Pauline Jaffe made seven saves.
North Hunterdon garnered the first lead of the game after Green scoring nine minutes into the game. With both defenses hounding the opposing offenses into low percentage shots and turnovers, goals were hard to come by until Westfield found its footing around the 10-minute mark when the Blue Devils netted four straight goals in a span of six and a half minutes.
The Lions started their comeback attempt towards the end of the first half, netting two goals thanks to Perez and Miller in the final minute to make it a one-goal game.
Once the second half commenced, however, it was all Westfield as it scored the first seven goals out of the break.
