The report says Ellie Himes opened the scoring before half-time, finishing an attack created by Autumn Donegan. Montclair carried a 1-0 lead into the interval and controlled the most important moment of the opening period.
Mount St. Dominic responded after the break. Isabel DeLorenzo reportedly equalised from a pass by Meghan Tuite, briefly shifting momentum back toward the visitors.
That response did not last. Pia Olkowski scored Montclair’s second goal soon afterwards, restoring the lead and deciding the match.
The report puts Mount St. Dominic ahead 15-8 in shots, a significant attacking edge that made Montclair’s efficiency decisive. The visitors also forced eight saves from goalkeeper Isabella Raju, but could not turn their pressure into a second equaliser.
Montclair’s advantage came in the key moments: an early breakthrough, a quick reaction after conceding and a winning goal before Mount St. Dominic could build sustained pressure.
The reported standings place Montclair third in the SEC-American with a 2-1-1 divisional record. Mount St. Dominic drops to fourth at 1-2-1, while its overall record is listed as 3-2-1.
For Montclair, the victory is more than a single result. It creates separation from a direct divisional rival and halts a losing trend against an opponent that had entered the match on three straight wins.
The next SEC-American fixture will show whether Montclair can turn this efficient performance into a sustained push for the top places, while Mount St. Dominic must respond quickly to prevent one setback from becoming a wider slide.
