NYIT evened the score in the 41st minute as Stephanie Bradbury found the back of the net on a direct kick. Junior Amanda Herrera (Lafayette, CO) notched the eventual game-winner as the clock expired on the first half on an 18-yard shot to push the Panthers ahead, 2-1.

Junior Erin Klimkowski (Westbury, N.Y.) made it a 3-1 effort on a feed from Kristen Dexter (Beacon, N.Y.) in the 51st minute. Morrison picked up her second goal just three minutes later when she beat the NYIT goalkeeper on a break away.
