The Huskies went back on top with Falk scoring off a Marisa Moley (Phoenixville/Spring-Ford) assist followed by a Bridget Kyne goal from a Taylor Turner (Corning, N.Y./Corning West) assist to make it 3-1 with just under 20 minutes to play in the half.
 
The team's split the next four goals before the Huskies scored five straight goals to extend its lead to 10-3. Falk scored two of the five and also added an assist.  Slippery Rock briefly cut the lead to 10-5 with back-to-back goals, but Bloomsburg closed the half with scores from Moley and Kyne to make the score 12-5 at the break.
 
Kyne started the second half with a goal giving the Huskies their biggest lead of the game at 13-5. The Rock, though, came back with two straight scores to briefly make it a six-goal game at 13-7. But Carly Ball (Lansdale/North Penn) scored on a free position attempt and Falk scored her sixth goal of the contest to put the lead back to eight at 15-7 with 13:52 to play.
 
The rest of the way saw the team's alternate scores with Slippery Rock scoring at the final horn to make the final 19-12.
 
Along with Falk's six goals and two assists, Kyne scored five times, while Ball added three and Moley two. Moley also added a game-high four assists.
 
Bloomsburg goalies Abbey Burnett (Frederick, MD/Walkersville) made her first start of the season in goal and stopped nine shots.
