How it happened
WU created two shots and forced two penalty corners before Schlosser got it going in the eighth minute. The sophomore received the pass from Perna's corner and put it in the bottom right of the cage. The Blue and Gold entered the second quarter up one. Strong defense in the second kept the score at 1-0 at the intermission.
Coming out of the half with an attack mindset, Widener generated two shots and three penalty corners in the first three-and-a-half minutes, finally grabbing its second goal at the 38:03 mark. Again it was Perna on the corner, this time finding Radnoff. The sophomore from Mount Airy, Md. buried the shot for her seventh goal of the season. Perna sealed the win when she recorded her third goal of the year in the 46th minute.
