Notes: The Falcons invade Larkin Field on the heels of a 2-1 setback at the hands of Adelphi University on Wednesday. Senior Morgan Van Epps (Clifton Park, N.Y.) staked Bentley to a 1-0 lead with less than three minutes to play in the opening half, however, the Panthers responded with a pair of second-half tallies to edge the hosts. Freshman Christine Murray (Westwood, Mass.) added a helper on Van Epps' goal, while sophomore Tatiana Naclerio (Easton, Conn.) steered aside a pair of shots. The Falcons will aim to sweep the regular-season series from the Penmen on Saturday, as Bentley tipped Southern New Hampshire, 3-2, in nonconference action in Waltham on September 19.
