With the win, the Pacers evened their record at 4-4-1 (1-0 CSAC) while the Falcons fell to 0-6 (0-1 CSAC).

Marywood got on the board just 8:45 into the contest as Kaitlyn Miller (Trumansburg, NY) scored her first goal of the season on a one-time finish off a cross from Mandy Costello (Sussex, NJ). Just under two minutes later, the duo again combined for a nearly identical goal, as Miller netted her second goal of the match by converting a Costello cross.

The Pacers stretched their lead to 3-0 at the 22:07 mark when Leslie Highman (North Brunswick, NJ) tallied her first goal of the season by heading home a Stephanie Hoffman (Binghamton, NY) corner kick.

Costello registered her third assist of the afternoon by setting up Claudia Mazza's (Binghamton, NY) first goal of the season 30:55 into the opening half and Costello scored a goal of her own at the 33:52 mark by finding the net after taking a pass from Erica Mechalke (Elmira, NY) to give the visitors a comfortable 5-0 lead at halftime.   Costello's goal was her team-leading fourth of the season.

Kelcie Reightler (Jim Thorpe, PA) became the fourth Pacer to net her first goal of the season by scoring to the far post after taking a long thru-ball from Elise Tracy (Kirkwood, NY) in the fifty-third minute of action.

Taylor Simmons (Hopewell Junction, NY) closed out the scoring by finishing a one-time shot from the corner of the 18-yard box of a feed from Jen Cady (Troupsburg, NY) at 70:18.

Marywood, who held a 51-1 advantage in shots and an 7-1 edge in corner kicks, got its second straight shutout from Megan Coyle (Endicott, NY).  April Johnson made 23 stops in goal for the Falcons.
