Less than two minutes following, Olivia Habicht deposited an unassisted goal from 25-yards out, supplying the visitors with a two-goal cushion.
The Cavaliers cut their deficit to one goal, 3-2, with Edwards' fourth goal of the season in the 82nd minute. Sophomore Kara Hinkelmon's shot attempt deflected back to Edwards nearly 10-yards outside of the box. The rookie settled the bouncing ball and drilled the twine just inside the opposite post.
However, Marywood iced the contest and reasserted a two-goal lead, 4-2, at the 83:22 mark when Jennifer Slesinski converted a pass from Siobhan Blancflor on the Blue & White's doorstep off a fast-break down the right sideline.
DeGisi led the Cavaliers offense with four shots on goal. Porretta tallied 11 saves in net, surpassing the 10-save plateau for the second time in three games.
Hinkelmon, a CSAC Second Team selection in 2008, made her first appearance of the season after recovering from a knee injury suffered during the offseason. As a freshman last year, she totaled 19 points on eight goals and three helpers.
