Freshman Baileigh Johnson added her inaugural collegiate goal, while senior defender Molly Brunk turned in a steady performance between the posts, making three saves in each half for a total of six stops.
The Jaspers outshot the Sharks 28‑13, with 12 of those attempts on target, and dominated set‑piece opportunities, earning a season‑high 10 corners.
Head coach’s lineup mirrored the previous game against Monmouth, and the team will next travel to face Fordham on August 20, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
