Six players scored a goal for Moravian (6-4, 1-1 LC), including Kathryn Hunsinger, who finished with three goals and one assist.
 
Moravian scored the game's first two goals, but Drew came back to take the lead following a 4-0 run, capped by consecutive goals from Strong that made it 4-2. The Greyhounds scored inside the final minute of the quarter to make it a one-goal affair.
 
Moravian pumped in the first three goals of the second quarter to go up 6-4 before Gallaro stemmed the rally with a goal at the 2:12 mark that pulled the Rangers within a goal once again. But the Greyhounds netted the final tally of the third quarter to go up 7-5 at the intermission.
 
Moravian started the second half with the first two goals to enjoy its largest lead of the night at 9-5. But that's when Patane and Gallaro scored 13 seconds apart to chop the lead in half before Patane struck again with 3:21 to go in the quarter, making it 9-8 heading into the final period.
 
The Greyhounds nudged their advantage back to three with the first two goals of the fourth quarter, making it 11-8 with 9:49 remaining. The teams alternated goals the rest of the way, and Williams scored at the 3:49 mark to make it 12-10. Hunsinger answered with her final goal with 2:32 showing before Welch set the final score with 19 ticks showing.
 
The Rangers are back in action on Saturday, when they visit Goucher College in another Landmark Conference affair.
