Fisher came out strong in the second half, scoring just over three minutes into the second stanza. After a Geneseo turnover at midfield, All-American Emily Markarian took the ball all the way to the net on a great individual effort, going past two Knight defenders before sliding it past the goalkeeper for her second goal of the season.

Junior Goaltender Ashley Maynard stopped two shots and was credited with her third victory of the season.
