Anderson was tested once more before halftime, successfully making her second save during her 45 minutes on the field.

Nicole Shisler took over as goalkeeper for DelVal at the start of the second half and was immediately challenged, making two saves in the first five minutes. Baker had another shot on goal that was saved, while Williamson struck the post in the 58th minute. After a yellow card was issued to a Monarch player, Anya Chervak scored, extending King's lead to two goals. Shisler made two additional saves, bringing her total to four for the match, as she worked to keep the Aggies competitive. In the closing minutes, Baker fired another shot wide, unable to find the net.

With this loss, the Aggies fell to 2-10-1 (0-2 MAC) and will next compete on Saturday, Oct. 19, against Stevens Institute of Technology.
