Wesleyan picked up a goal in the 88^th minute to cut the final margin to 5-3.
"It took the team a while to calm down and find their chemistry," coach Ron Kiernicki said. "Once we settled down and started making better first touches, the team chemistry started flowing. The freshmen had to find their legs, their nerves showed in the first half."
