The Mounties limited the Bobcats to just one corner in the first half, however FSU took advantage of the opportunity, converting for their first goal in the 27th minute to knot the game at one.
However, Esterling regained the Mountaineer advantage just two minutes later when she found the back of the cage off the sticks of Dams and Radel.
The Bobcats tied the game again six minutes into the second half, but the Mounties answered just two minutes later when Meyer fired a heat seeker by the keeper off an assist by Radel to put MU back on top, 3-2.
Dams scored an insurance goal for the Mounties in the 44th minute off a helper by senior Olivia Wagner (New Cumberland, Pa. / Cedar Cliff) to round out the scoring and secure the victory.
Esterling finished with a game-high 10 shots, with six coming on goal. Dams and Meyer each added two shots on goal.
