Daria Warner (Harrisburg, Pa./Bishop McDevitt) would score the next three goals to complete the Hat Trick and put the Falcons up 4-0 after 73 minutes of action. Not even a minute after
Warner's third goal, sophomore

"It's early in the season, so we're still working out some kinks," stated Head Coach
Sarah Wolcott, "but overall I was happy with our effort and performance today.
Avery Huston (Levittown, Pa./Bucks County Technical) and
Brittney Dunleavy (Auburn, Pa./Blue Mountain) played really well for us in the back and
Madison VanKirk (Northumberland, Pa./Shikellamy) did a great job controlling the middle of the field."

Cedar Crest led every statistical category, outshooting the Mavericks 17-5 with 13 shots going on goal. The Falcons also earned seven corner kicks in the match, compared to Medaille's three.
Starting in her second collegiate game was freshman
