Trailing 16-7 entering the fourth quarter, Saint Francis outscored LIU by a 5-3 count in the final minutes to close the gap to seven goals prior to the final horn.
Eschleman led the way for the Red Flash with four goals, while Ohlson netted a pair of markers in her collegiate debut. Kayla Rhoads, Georgia Ellison, Adi Garges, Sarah Hartwell, Marlin and Torres each scored one goal.
