Healy converted on her first goal of the season for the 2-0 score. For the Giants, Briana Sotiropoulos took a cross from Shelby Croasdale and went on a fast break hitting the back of the cage to come within one 1-2.

Ramapo goalie Emily Wisneski made five saves in the game including four in the late in the second half. Stacey Faria stopped a ball to earn a defensive save in the second half and to keep the Giants from scoring. Ramapo out shot Keystone 13-7 in the game and 7-5 in penalty corners.
