Freshman midfielder Jennifer Anselmi (North Rockland, NY) scored her first of three goals on a penalty kick, awarded at 17:05. SUNY New Paltz (9-5-1, 4-5) took a 2-0 lead into halftime, sophomore forward Jaime McBain (Troy, NY) scored, her fourth goal in three games, off a pass from junior forward Kerri Kelty (Valley Stream, NY).
