Rebecca Shopiro scored 6 goals and Janelle Bartman recorded 10 saves as Stevenson rolled to a 16-7 win over Fremd in the second quarterfinal of the state tournament on Friday in the Patriots' home pool. Amy Michelau and Rachel Cliburn also scored 3 times each in the victory for Stevenson.

Erika Lauraitis scored 3 goals, Katie French added 2 scores, and Kelli DiCanio made 8 saves in the loss for the Vikings.

Shopiro, Cliburn, and Michelau came out firing on all cylinders in the first period, as Cliburn scored on Stevenson's counterattack early in the quarter, Shopiro forced a turnover and drew an ejection before assisting Michelau on a goal from the left post, and Shopiro drew a foul and scored from five meters late in the period to give Stevenson a quick 3-0 lead. Cliburn scored before the end of the quarter after Katie Moy had her first two meter attempt blocked by DiCanio, as Moy recovered the rebound and assisted Cliburn on her second score of the game.

French got Fremd on the scoreboard with lob shot from outside seven meters early in the second period to close the gap to 4-1. But Cliburn has the answer, as she twice forced turnovers and assisted Shopiro on two straight goals to increase the Patriots' advantage to 6-1. Cliburn scored again, this time on a breakaway chance, after Michelau made a steal on the defensive end and passed ahead for the assist. Bartman made a save on Krysti Ruiz' outside shot attempt late in the half, but Lauraitis was waiting on the doorstep to put in the rebound goal and make the score 7-2. The Patriots closed out the half in a bog way, however, as Michelau made a steal and scored a breakaway goal and Shopiro drew a penalty shot and coverted the attempt to make the score 9-2 in favor of the Patriots at halftime.

Stevenson poured it on early in the third period, as Cliburn first made a steal and assisted Melanie Koto on a breakaway goal, then drew an ejection and assisted Kelly Lowry on a skip shot from outside five meters. The Patriots scored again when Melanie Sulkin made a steal on the defensive end, passed ahead to Mary Novokhovsky, who assisted Michelau on a breakaway goal. French, who drew two ejections that the Vikings could not convert earlier in the period, drew a penalty shot, which Lauraitis converted to make the score 12-4 late in the third quarter. Shopiro closed out the period with a goal from two meters as time expired and Stevenson took a 13-4 lead in the final quarter.

Shopiro added her sixth goal early in the final period, then Moy scored twice on consecutive possessions to put Stevenson ahead 16-4. Katie DeFillipo, French, and Lauraitis finished the game off with three straight goals for Fremd, but it was not enough as Stevenson cruised to a 16-7 victory.
