Nassau Community College got out to an early lead finishing four goals in the first half. The Falcons picked up their defensive pressure in the second half and successfully limited Nassau to only one goal. Kelsie McDowell had 21 saves on the day.
 
"We started off a little rough in the first half, but came out a lot stronger in the second half. We can use this loss as motivation to work harder at practice and future games. Our team did an amazing job today and I couldn't be more proud of them," Kaitlyn Dourado said.
 
Valeria Barragan added, "We may have lost but that doesn't mean we didn't give it our all. We have come a long way since the beginning of the season and as a team we are better now than when we started. This loss will not determine how the rest of the season goes and we will come back even stronger next game."
