Box Score
BROOKVILLE, N.Y. (Oct. 17, 2010) – Senior forward Mia Paltrineri (Middletown, Del.) tallied her fifth goal of the season but it was not enough for C.W.

The Huskies improve to 8-2 overall and 3-1 in division play. The Pioneers slip to 8-5 overall and 1-3 in the PSAC East.
Bloomsburg outshot C.W. Post 34-16 while both teams were tied with nine penalty corners apiece.
Both teams played a scoreless first half even as the Huskies outshot the Pioneers by a 16-7 margin.
Bloomsburg took a 1-0 lead just over two minutes into the second half when Jenna DiSabatino scored on a flip shot that landed in the goal at 37:07.
DiSabatino scored another goal when she broke through the Pioneer defense and drove the ball into the cage on a hard shot out front at 55:43.
