Waldorf scored just two minutes into the contest with a header from Morgan Aupperle off a corner kick from Jessica Godwin, to give the Warriors an early 1-0 lead. 

Bellevue finally found the back of the net with just over three minutes left in regulation when Kate Petersen scored her second goal of the season off a pass from Alyssa Porter at 86:53.  

The Bruins will host College of St. Mary at 12 p.m. on Saturday (Oct. 20) in a key MCAC matchup at Tranquility Park.
