Junior Audrey Larson (Gilroy, Calif./Gilroy) added two shots on goal, followed by Freshman Erin Smith (Warrington, Pa./Central Bucks South) with one.
The Chargers defense held strong keeping the game scoreless for the first fifteen minutes of the game, until Bloomsburg broke the stalemate in the 22nd minute with a goal by Bloomsburg's Bella Culp, who tipped in a ball from outside of the circle for the first goal of the game.
The Chargers will conclude their weekend road trip with a matchup on Sunday, September 11th when they head to West Chester to take on the Golden Rams.
