The Panthers came out strong similar to Friday night. This time, they were able to find the back of the net a few more times. After a few good early saves from Concordia's Teagan Johnson, O'Conner tapped in her second of the season a little over six minutes into the game to put DU up 1-0.
 
Just a few minutes later, Pippin banged in a rebound for her seventh of the season following a great rush by Mulligan. Mulligan would set up O'Conner for her second of the period before Mulligan would score two goals just over a minute apart. Caitlin Miscovich finished off the scoring in the opening 20 minutes with her fourth goal of her career to send DU into the intermission with a 6-0 lead.
 
Davenport opened the scoring in the second period with a power play goal from Ballestero just before the five-minute mark of the period. A little over five minutes later, Amatore tipped in her first of the season to extend the DU lead to eight. Gaynor scored her second of the weekend to make it 9-0 with just under five minutes remaining in the period.
 
The Panthers added goals in the final 20 minutes with Miscovich scoring her second of the game a little over five minutes in to the period. Amatore scored her second of the game before Miscovich completed her first career hat trick just before the eight-minute mark of the period. Mulligan would pick up her fourth hat trick of the season, and her 20^th goal of the season, and DU would pick up the win by a final score of 13-0.
 
WHO'S NEXT?
 
The Panthers travel down to Chicago for their final game of the regular season to take on the Robert Morris (Ill.). The Eagles are 5-24 this season, and are 3-9-1 in CCWHA action. The winner of the game will earn the final spot in the upcoming CCWHA Playoffs.
