The goal was Goulet's second of the season.

Fourteen minutes later, freshman Laniyyah Elam (Washington, D.C./Woodrow Wilson) scored her first career goal, as she scored off the rebound from Goulet's free kick for the eventual game winner while giving FDU a 2-0 lead.

The Hornets scored in the 85th minute to cut the Knights' advantage to 2-1 on an own goal, but FDU's mistake was not enough in holding on for the victory.
