Forward Madison Blonde notched the only goal for New Haven with her goal in the 81st minute to cut the deficit to one, assisted by defender Riley Drosopoulos. With nine minutes remaining in the game, New Haven would tally three more shots, but none reached the net, giving them their third consecutive loss.
