Morrow (one goal, two assists), Lindenwood forwards Paige Cline (Chesterfield, Mich.; two goals, one assist) and Michaela Paulinyova (Bratislava, Slovakia; three assists) each had three points. Penn State freshman Kylie Amelkovich (Glen Ellyn, Ill.) recorded her first two-goal game of her career and her third multiple-point game in the last five outings.

Box Score | Game Highlights
Moon Township, Pa. – Syracuse edged Robert Morris, 2-1, on the strength of Rylee McLeod’s (Grande Prairie, Alta.) third goal of the season midway through the second period.
