The Lions improve to 9-4-3 while the Spartans dip to 6-5-2.

Rachael Tremblay (Sr.-Manalapan, N.J.) headed home a long free kick off the boot of
Kaitlyn Hartkopf (Cherry Hill, N.J.).
Georgian Court went ahead as
Tori Capestro (Jr.-Brick, N.J.) snapped the stalemate with the eventual game-winner as she sent in a
Rosa Franze (Fr.-Ocean, N.J.) shot that ricocheted off the crossbar.
Tuere Chisholm-Thomas (So.-South Orange, N.J.) added the insurance tally at 83:47, courtresy of a Capestro assist.
