Mayra Sesmas found the back of the net for the Vikings (1-2-0) in the 72nd minute, but her goal was not enough.

Junior Ella Kane had the assist on the game's opening goal, playing a cross from the left side. Classmate Michelle Hochstadt picked up the assist on BG's second goal, as Lamparty headed home her corner kick. Evie Underhill had won that corner for the Falcons after stealing a pass deep in CSU territory.
