Facing a 1-0 deficit, freshman Morgan Fagan scored in the 36th minute for her third goal of the season.

Trinity Garay paces the squad with five goals and 11 points. Jasmine Talley and Dara Murray each have three assists to lead the way. Sage Strohman has played the majority of minutes in goal, totaling a 1.18 goals-against average and .754 save percentage.
