The Falcon's best chance of the evening came last in the second half when Elicia Marshall (Taunton, Mass.) threaded a through ball just past the outstretched attempt from Mikaela Mitchell (Millbury, Mass.).

Freshman Morgan Small (Quakertown, Penn.) posted two saves for her first collegiate victory. Amanda Hem (Lowell, Mass.) made five saves in relief of goaltender Sarah Hemmings (Eastham, Mass.).
