• WP struck quickly again as Viola dribbled the ball up the left seam and struck the back of the cage at the 5:21 mark to extend the lead.
• Viola would find her second goal of the game at the 50:16 mark, dribbling the ball from left to center off a nice pass from sophomore Carly Santucci (Bayville, N.J./Central Regional) for the Pioneers third goal of the contest.
• Senior Hope Addlesberger (Cinnaminson, N.J./Cinnaminson) would cap off the impressive night for WP, scoring the final goal off a penalty corner pass by Hoopes.
