The offensive outburst by the Huskies allowed freshman goalkeeper Charlotte Williamson (Phoenixville, Pa./Pope John Paul II) to earn her first collegiate victory in her first career start. Williamson turned aside four shots in the win.

Six others scored at least one goal on Friday evening as sophomore Megan Smith (Lake Hopatcong, N.J./Jefferson Township) and freshman Kelsey Kilgallon (Spring City, Pa./Owen J. Roberts) added two each while redshirt sophomore Grace Kelleher (Rockville Centre, N.Y./South Side), junior Sydney Collins (Westminster, Md./Winters Mill), and sophomores Abby Bergman (Collegeville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley) and Allison Bardman (Barto, Pa./Boyertown Area) chipped in a single tally each in the victory.

The Wildcats scored first as Lashay Ross got the visitors on the board just 33 seconds in for a 1-0 advantage.
