Freshman Margarida Sousa then scored her first goal of the season off an assist from Eleanor Costello at the 65:09 mark to give the Lions a 2-1 advantage. Just over two minutes later, freshman Kylie Huey scored her first goal off an assist from Richards at the 67:27 mark to make the final count 3-1.
