The Wildcats found the net again ten minutes into the second half to finish the night's scoring. Keeper Madeline Shrader saw nine shots on goal allowing two to reach the scoreboard. With a strong effort from the defensive line, Genevieve Smith took six shots, while Madisyn Morlan and Kadence Rich took one each. The Pirates are now 4-7 (1-3 EIAC).
