In the second, Kemp quickly added her second of the afternoon at 42:47 off a Katie Potter pass, for the four goal lead.

Ceilidh MacNeill rounded out Skidmore scoring with the fifth Thoroughbred score in the 56th minute.

Morrisville State’s Stephanie Smith (Cedarville, NY) recorded 13 in the loss in net, as the Mustangs drop to 5-11 overall on the season.

Liz Catinella earned the shut-out victory, saving none, as Skidmore improved to 10-3 overall.
