The Bulldogs (4-1 overall) dominated the game from start to finish as they out-shot the Falcons (1-4 overall), 60-3 and held a 14-1 edge in penalty corners. The shutout was the second of the season for DSU as sophomores Amy Zoltek (Harleysville, PA/Lansdale Catholic) and Rachel Coleman (New Castle, DE/Padua Academy) combined for two saves in the win.
Senior Gina Malatesta (Warminster, PA/St. Basil Academy) scored twice including the game-winner 8:23 into the game.
