Freshman attack Heather Ferchland (Selden, N.Y. / Centereach) led the way for the Eagles with an eye-popping seven goals. She matched Ramapo's total for the game, in the first fourteen minutes of the game.

Senior Jackie Myers (Coram, N.Y. / Patchogue-Medford) had a hat trick of her own, scoring three goals while adding four assists.
