Junior attacker Janet Studdiford (Wyndmoor, PA/Springside School) added two goals and one assist in the win, while freshman midfielder Emmy Hyde (Gaithersburg, MD/Watkins Mill) tallied two goals.

Freshman goalie Ashley Crisler (Manchester, MD/North Carroll) made four saves in recording the shutout. Studdiford led WC in both ground balls with seven and draw controls with three. Junior defender Diana Martin (Boothwyn, PA/Chichester) recorded three caused turnovers.

Claire Goldsmtih made 22 saves in goal for Bryn Mawr (3-4 overall, 0-2 Centennial).
