Her second goal came four minutes later giving the lady Pioneers a commanding 3-0 lead. Midfielder Sam Tavantzis put the nail in the coffin scoring in the sixtieth minute to make the final score 4-0. The defense was solid as they held the Cougars to six shots.

The next game the Pioneers battled the Mercy College Mavericks on Saturday October 23. Post opened up the scoring at 12:09 as forward Alexa Niciforo continued her offensive surge by scoring an unassisted goal.

Mercy College would get on the board in 71st minute on a penalty kick goal by Andrea Nash but it was too late as Post won 3-1.
