The River Hawks (3-2, 1-0), the defending Landmark Conference champions, scored once in the first quarter and twice in the second period to assume a 3-0 halftime advantage.
 
Susquehanna built a 5-0 advantage before Kopec put the Rangers on the scoreboard, converting a feed from sophomore Emma Rider with 5:31 remaining in the game. The hosts responded netted the final goal with just under three minutes left.
