Junior midfielders Emily Mogk (Bozeman/Bozeman Mont.) and Amy Scheffer (Schenectady/Schalmont) combined on Ithaca's second goal as Scheffer finished a cross from Mogk. Scheffer and Adrien have each scored at least one point in their last seven games.

Senior midfielders Nikki Rice (Sutton Memorial/Sutton, Mass.) and Chelsea Stouffer (Scottsville/Wheatland-Chili) also scored their first goals of the season. Rice opened the scoring for the Bombers with their first goal as she was able to put away a loose ball in front of Elmira's goal and Stouffer found the back of the net after receiving a pass from junior Sarah Moore (Amherst Regional/Leverett, Mass.). The assist was Moore's first point of the season.
