The Lady Statesmen (6-9-1) trailed 2-0 at halftime, but began their comeback at the 56:37 mark when Julieth Tellez (Jr., Mendota, Ill., Joliet CC) scored unassisted for her second goal of the season.

Dickey knotted the contest at 2-2 in the 76th minute when she scored unassisted. The senior then put her squad ahead for the first time and for good at the 87:29 mark when she lined up and finished off a penalty kick shot. The goals are Dickey's fourth and fifth of the campaign.

Penn claimed a narrow 16-13 edge in shots over the Wildcats (3-11), including a team-best five from Dickey and two each via Tellez, Erika Larson (Fr., Plain City, Utah, Fremont HS) and Melisa Wink (So., Brookfield, Ill., Lyons Township HS).

Kristen Dolen (Sr., Independence, Mo., William Chrisman HS) picked up the win as she replaced Katie Burnett (Jr., Mesa, Ariz., Desert Ridge HS) at halftime. Dolen had two saves, while Burnett had three saves against the two goals allowed.
