HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
- The Bantams controlled the tempo in the first half, as they outshot MIT 7-2. Senior Ava Gillikin (Flemington, N.J.) made four saves in the first 45 minutes of play to keep the game scoreless.
 
- MIT turned it around in the second half and broke the scoreless tie as sophomore Lauren Davis (Whitefish Bay, Wis.) sent in a corner kick that was booted around in front of the cage before junior Meagan Rowlett (Dana Point, Calif.) got control of the ball and put it past Trinity keeper Mariana Cournoyer at 52:28.
 
- The Bantams looked to even the score in the final minute, but the shot by Hannah Storozuk sailed high as the Engineers took the 1-0 win.

- Rowlett scored her team-leading eighth goal of the year and leads the team with 19 points.
