Fazio found the back of the net three times and dished out an assist in the opening 10 minutes as the Dolphins jumped out to a 4-1 lead. She started the scoring at the 27:17 mark after taking a pass from senior attacker Maggie Monnat (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker).

Fazio made it 8-4 with 5:59 left, while freshman midfielder Monica Sanna (Pittsford, N.Y./Pittsford) tallied her fifth goal of the year with 4:16 remaining.

After the teams traded goals in the opening two and one-half minutes of the second half, the Dolphins rattled off five straight goals in a span of 6:02. Sophomore midfielder Abbie McEntee (Cazenovia, N.Y./Cazenovia) got the scoring started in the half with her fifth goal of the year just 24 seconds into the period after taking a pass from Monnat.

Garbarino capped the streak and extended the margin to double-digits with 19:57 left after taking a feed from Geremia.

Bedell pulled the Penmen within nine with a free-position goal with 18:16 left, but the Dolphins tallied the next two goals. Senior attacker Claire Monnat (Baldwinsville, N.Y./C.W. Baker) netted her second goal of the season with 16:00 remaining off a pass from Geremia and then sophomore midfielder Emily Martin (Delmar, N.Y./Albany Academy) tallied her first goal of the season.
