Iona (0-1) battled back in the second half, with a shot on target by junior Safi Ayinde. Iona had an opportunity with 12 minutes remaining as freshman Erika Flowers had an open corner, but an FDU defender slid in diverting the shot out of bounds.

FDU finished the game with a 6-4 edge in shots.

Senior Trista Rivera finished with three saves in the contest. FDU’s Sage DoVale made a single save.

Iona will remain on the road and take on Towson on Sunday afternoon at 1 pm.
