MANSFIELD – Willow Perkins' goal in the final minute of the first half proved to be all Bloomsburg would need to edge Mansfield 1-0 on a soggy afternoon at Karl Van Norman Field.
 
The Mountaineers made six saves in the first half, including a defensive save by Madison Wilinsky, but Perkins took advantage of a deflected ball and put it in goal.
 
Mansfield (6-7, 1-4 PSAC) had two great opportunities to tie the game in the second half with Dana Evans' shot on goal in the 52^nd minute stopped on a Tali Wehner defensive save. Later, Chelsea Tanco was set-up for the perfect opportunity on the backside of the cage, but Hannah Barnard denied the shot on an incredible diving save.
 
Meghan Griffin also recorded a defensive save with her stop in the 58^th minute.
 
The Huskies totaled 23 shots with 14 on goal and Mansfield recorded 13 shots with seven on goal. Bloomsburg (7-6, 3-2 PSAC) held a slight 7-6 advantage on penalty corners.
 
Six different Mountaineers put shots on frame in the game. Keeper Brittany Ryan made 11 saves.
