She posted a hat trick in each half, and her six points tied her career best. Her fourth goal of the game was the 100th of her career, and she currently has 102 goals and 133 points in her career.

Levendusky has scored at least three goals in each game this season for a team-best totoal of 16, and she is riding an 11-game goal streak that dates to April 4, 2007.

Levendusky and the Retrievers return to action Tuesday when they host America East rival Vermont at 3 p.m. at UMBC Stadium.
