FDU doubled the lead in the 62nd minute. Sophomore Erica Martins crossed to classmate Madeline Finnegan, who found junior Erika Pita. Pita took her time and beat the keeper low for her team-leading 10th goal of the year. Just 3:23 later, the Devils got the final tally of the night off a set piece. Junior Lindsey Scarmozzino sent in a corner kick that found sophomore Madison Rosa. Rosa blasted a high shot past the leaping keeper for her first goal of the season.

The Rangers didn't go away quietly, as a shot by Alexis Castanheira hit the crossbar in the 67th minute. Paulino made three saves late to preserve the victory, including punch over the crossbar in the 81st minute.
