Wells took advantage of an open post a mere 3:30 into the contest for the early 1-0 lead, connecting on the cross from the left for the tap in on the right post.
But moments later, Morrisville State got an evening tally in the 11th minute as a forward feed from freshman Casey Watson (Stamford, Conn.) led to a one-versus-goalie breakaway for sophomore midfielder Jessica Adam (Avoca, N.Y.).
