VCU equalized again when Jamee Albright's shot got past Cristina Ceppi in the 53rd minute. It was Albright scoring again that gave VCU the lead.

The Mountaineers were unable to find a tying goal the rest of the second half. VCU converted a pentaly corner play as time expired to extent the win margin to two goals.

Ceppi had four saves during the match to take her total to 99 for the year.

The Mountaineer will travel to Stockton, California for the NorPac Conference tournament on Nov. 6-8.
