In the 72nd minute sophomore Jill Dozier beat out two Highlander defenders on a break-away to score her fourth goal of the season and seal the 2-0 victory for Lafayette.

Lafayette goalie Lauren Smedley picked up her third shutout of the season after making three saves against NJIT. The Highlanders Sadie Mele picked up seven to bring her season total to 45 saves.
