Then in the 75th minute, senior defender Jessica Davis (Ocean City, NJ/Ocean City) took a shot from 30 yards out that cleared Brown and tucked under the crossbar for a 2-0 lead.

Freshman goalkeeper Lauren Hoenig (Howell, NJ/Howell) made four saves to earn her first career shutout. Brown recorded four saves and starter Brittany Owens had 10 saves in goal for Goldey-Beacom, who were out-shot 39-7 for the game.
