Highlights
-1^st Half-
In the 43^rd minute, Murdick stepped up to a set-piece about 45 yards out. The kick bounced inside the box and a streaking Davis headed the ball up and over the keeper and into the back of the net for her first career goal and a 1-0 lead.

-2nd Half-
Murphy earned her first tally of the season in the 46^th minute on a loose ball in the Blue Devils' box. The junior picked up the loose ball and dribbled left around the defender and then buried the shot back right behind the keeper.

In the 47^th minute the CCSU keeper punted out following a save and Williams one-touched the ball ahead to Murphy who took off downfield and took a strike from 30 yards out that rose above the keepers outstretched hands and just under the bar.
