Muzio's long shot to the far corner put the Bombers on the board. Ithaca trailed 2-1 at halftime.

The Bombers' best scoring chance of the second half came when Ithaca was awarded a penalty stroke. Junior midfielder Krista Fieselmann (Bridgewater-Raritan/Bridgewater, N.J.) scooped the shot toward the top-right corner of the cage, but the Washington & Jefferson goalkeeper stopped the shot with her left hand.

Ithaca outshot Washington & Jefferson 13-8 and held a 9-5 advantage in penalty corners. Bomber junior goalkeeper Chelsea Welsh (Scotia-Glenville/Scotia) made three saves.
