Just four minutes later -- after an initial shot and save -- Sierra Kennedy would put a shot past Morrisville keeper Meredith Koziol to give the Highlanders a 2-1 lead and seal the win. 
 
Highlander keeper Elizabeth Pizsker allowed one goal while talying 10 saves. 
 
For the Mustangs, Koziol would allow two goals with four saves.
