The visiting Hawks (1-1) scored the game-winner at the 60:50 minute mark when freshman Annie LePresti scored on an pass from senior Kelly Balady. The Lancers will be back in action Saturday, September 4 when they host Rider at Crenshaw Field.

Monmouth took the early 1-0 advantage when Balady scored on a penalty corner taken by senior Katie Levy. The Lancers managed to tie the game just two minutes into the second half when freshman Cristin Newbold/Norfolk, Va.
