Along with Burnet's six points, Lee tallied three goals. Rookie's Victoria Doyle and Jennifer Halvorson posted a combined five assists, and Meghan Brooks earned four saves in her third career win in goal.

Led by Williams with three total points, three Huntindgon Hawks posted two goals apiece. Goalie Alexis McDonald notched 15 saves in her third loss on the season.

The Avenging Angels travel to N.C. Wesleyan Wednesday for a 3 p.m. match and host Converse next Friday to open a five game series during spring break.
