Offreda gave Montclair State a 3-0 lead in the 41st minute before Raider senior midfielder Alison Phillips (Buena, NJ/Buena Regional) chipped a breakaway shot over Tepperman.  Sophomore foward Karen Johnson (Nutley, NJ/Nutley) delivered a crisp through pass to set up Phillips' run.

Sophomore goalkeeper Leah Tepperman needed just four saves to get her third victory of the season as the Red Hawks (3-5-1, NJAC 2-2-0) out shot the Scarlet Raiders, 21-11, and controlled corner kicks, 8-6.

Offreda iced the match when she fired a loose ball over sophomore goalkeeper Sam Weer (Willingboro, NJ/Life Center Academy) less than two minutes into the second half to end the scoring. Weer (3-1-0) made nine saves in suffering her first loss in goal.

Sophomore midfielder Lara Kaminski drilled a free kick into the left side of the goal from the top of the 18 in the 16th minute to opening the scoring before freshman forward Christyn Scillieri scored the winning goal on a breakaway run on a through pass from sophomore forward Natalie Sisti in the 19th minute.
