On a cloudy and windy day, the Highlanders saw all of their hard work, come together and defeat Immaculata 2-0.

It was not until the 43rd minute when Alicia Curry received a pass at the top of the 18 from Courtney Novak and blasted it past the keeper, giving the Highlanders a 1-0 lead going into the half. Curry managed to fire four shots on the afternoon, three on goal, and she was able to find the back of the net for her first goal of the season.

Mackenzie Paugh earned her second shut out of the season, making five saves on 12 Immaculata shots.  Paugh's biggest save came in the 65th minute as an Immaculata player was on a breakaway, Paugh came out of her net to come up with the big save, preserving the shut out victory.
