Less than five minutes later
Ali Rogers scored her first goal of the season with a lofted shot from 15 yards out on the right side.

Messiah outshot the Mustangs 11-0 in the first-half as they were on their way to keeping an opponent without a shot on goal for the seventh time this season.
In the second-half
Corinne Wulf scored her fifth goal of the season—all which have come in the last six games—after taking a feed from Schneider in the middle of the box and spinning off her defender.
Marisa Weaver finished the scoring for the hosts in the 81st minute after following up a saved shot from
Trisha Tshudy. The goal was Weaver's second in as many games.
McCoach and backup keeper Alicia Greene each collected three saves for the Mustangs who have now gone winless in three-straight conference games.
Messiah moves their unbeaten streak to 11 games (10-1) since losing two-straight in early September. They will next play on Wednesday, Oct. 23 when they travel to Lycoming College for a 4:00 p.m. game.
