Senior goalie Niky Johnson faced 36 total shots from the Wilmington offense, making 11 stops in the loss, while sophomore goalies Ashleigh Lawry and Allison Schiavone each split halves, combining for only one save, which was made by Schiavone, who allowed four goals, and got the win between the pipes.
