With the result the Trailblazers move to 1-1-1 on the season while Cobleskill falls to 0-3-1.

In the 31^st minute Anna Lewis was on the end of an Addison Hayer corner and made it 2-0 on her first goal of the day.

Cidnee Frymire closed the first half scoring punching a perfect cross from Jayde Meribela past the Cobleskill keeper in the 39^th minute to give MCLA a comfortable 3-0 lead at the half.

Cobleskill began to make some inroads into MCLA territory in the second half and in the 55^th minute their efforts paid off when Jojo Leubner put the Fighting Tigers on the board cutting the deficit to 3-1.

The momentum immediately shifted back in MCLA's favor however and in the 62^nd minute the Trailblazers executed a beautiful tic-tac-toe goal with Addison Gates scoring her first on the day with helpers from Lewis and Jenna Bateman to reestablish the three-goal lead at 4-1.

In less than a three-minute span Lewis and Gates each added their second goals to blow the game open make it 6-1 in the 65^th minute.

Camryn Belisle capped off the scoring in the 86^th minute being sent in alone by Gates then calmly chipping the ball over the keeper's head for her first career goal and the exclamation point on a dominating 7-1 win.

MCLA outshot Cobleskill 32-9 forcing Dory Gosselin (L, 0-2) to make 11 saves in the losing effort. MCLA goalie Eva Eberwein (W, 1-0) registered her first career win stopping three Fighting Tiger shots.
