Sam Pace (Erie, PA/Fort LeBoeuf) tallied the first two goals for Behrend. The newcomer got Behrend on the board 3:22 into the game off a pass from Lonas. She then made it 2-0 at the 29:16 mark thanks to another great feed by Lonas.

Two more goals were added in the second half. Lonas and Alex Bilka (Cranberry Township, PA/Seneca Valley) were on the end of the goals, along with an assist from Sam Vasy (North Huntingdon, PA/Norwin).
