The Hoyas were able to cut the lead with a great unassisted goal by freshman forward Lindsay Fisher (Bexley, Ohio/Bexley), at the 46:17 mark. The Hoyas continued to mount offensive runs, with great work by senior Meghan Leahy (Windham, N.H.) and junior Megan Carroll (Massapequa, N.Y., Massapequa) in the midfield, but were unable to capitalize. Leahy had five shots on the day, with two shots on goal.
Winer had another great game in goal, only allowing 2 goals on 18 shots, while posting 10 saves for the game.
