Suffolk would find the back of the net in the 68th minute when freshman forward Taylor Miranda (Smithtown, NY) blasted a shot over the keeper into the right upper 90 to put Suffolk ahead 1-0.

Suffolk would score just three minutes later in the 71st minute off the leg of freshman midfielder Gabrielle Balestrier (Mohnton, PA) as she finished a deflection to make the final score 2-0.
