This is the way the score remainined until  Rider tied it up right before halftime, when Tara Ballay put the ball in the back of the net in the 43rd minute, to make it a 1-1 game at intermission. The Broncs then continued their momentum in the second half with a goal by Priscilla Santos in the 59th minute to move in front by a 2-1 count. Rider then surged to a commanding 4-1 lead with goals in the 80th and 82nd minute, the first off the foot of Alanna McDougall, and the latter by Ballay.

The Seahawks used 20 players today in a game that saw freshman Jessica Wilm (Shelton, CT / Shelton) make her first career start in goal.

The Green & White will return to action on Thursday, September 11 when they travel to Hartford to meet the Hawks in a 6:00 p.m start.
