How it Happened
1:30 | The Warriors wasted no time grabbing a 1-0 lead as van Gils scored her second goal of the season just one minute and thirty seconds into the game. The Amersfoort, Netherlands native deflected an initial shot by Hannah Barbush just inside the right post to put ESU out in front.
5:30 | Exactly four minutes later, Parker carried the ball inside the arc before sending a bouncing shot past Frostburg State's goalkeeper Madison Manalansan into the back of the net to extend the Warriors advantage to 2-0.
33:27 | Krozser extended the Warriors lead shortly into the second half when Mesenbrink threaded a pass through the Frostburg State defense right onto the stick of the Boonton, N.J. native, who made a nifty move around Manalansan before firing a shot to put ESU out in front, 3-0.
