HOW IT HAPPENED:
- The Pioneers struck just 59 seconds into the contest when senior forward Corrine Bowe (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Knolls) played a ball from the right end line that ricocheted off a defender to junior forward Daniella LoBue (Clifton, N.J./Clifton), who buried it to the near side of the frame for her first goal as a Pioneer.
- WP made it 2-0 in the 30th minute when senior midfielder Kristen Bowe (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Knolls) launched a pass up the seam for classmate Marisa Adelman (Branchburg, N.J./Somerville), who beat the charging keeper to the ball, pulled it to the side and converted to the open net for her team-leading 12th goal of the season.
- Seven minutes later Adelman passed from the right corner towards the middle of the six-yard box for Corrine Bowe (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Knolls), who knocked it in for her fourth strike of the fall and a 3-0 edge.
- Kristen Bowe (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Knolls) was taken down inside the box during the 52nd minute of play, setting up senior midfielder Lorraine Moffitt (Paramus, N.J./Paramus) for her fifth penalty kick goal of the year.
- Corrine Bowe (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Knolls) picked up her second assist and fourth point of the night when she launched a ball across the frame toward a charging Abbey Kampmeyer (Ocean City, N.J./Ocean City), and the freshman converted at the left post for her first career points and a 5-0 score at the 63:48 mark.
- Junior midfielder Danielle Dachowski (Succasunna, N.J./Roxbury) slipped a pass through the defense for sophomore midfielder Samantha Persaud (North Brunswick, N.J./North Brunswick), who pulled the keeper out and fired to the unoccupied frame to finish the scoring in the 74th minute.
