Towson (1-3) answered with their lone goal of the day about a minute later to tie the game.
Senior Regan McCrossan (Waxhaw, N.C.) tallied the game-winner just two minutes into the second quarter. McCrossan took a pass from Lindsey Frank (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.), juke the Towson goalie and fired off the shot for the score. McCrossan has three goals on the season.
