Less than three minutes later, sophomore Cailean Corbally's shot hit the stick of a Suffolk defender and floated over Rams netminder Katelyn Michals and into the net for her third of the year to tie the game.

Lafferty then collected her own rebound and fired a shot over Michals' shoulder for the GWG eight minutes later to give JWU its first lead of the day at 4-3.
