SU got a goal from freshman Valu Paul and an assist from graduate Anna Gruber.
 
For the second straight game, Sluymer opened the scoring with a natural hat trick. It is her fifth career hat trick and extended her single-season career high to 23 goals. Petrantonio assisted on the first Sluymer goal, and Albright assisted the next two.
 
Petrantonio extended her single-season school record for goals in the third quarter with her 34th of the year off an assist from Gruber. With three seconds left in the third quarter, Paul took an aerial pass from senior Maddie Reuther, dribbled into space, and rocketed a shot high in the cage.
