Emily Bidelspach (Myerstown, PA/ELCO) assisted on the play as she played the ball back to the center of the box where Evans then shot the ball off the far post and in for the 1-0 lead.

It didn't take long for Wilkes to add to its lead in the second half as Bidelspach connected for her team-high fourth goal of the season in the 51st minute.
