Against the Peacocks on Wednesday night, Bischoff put the game away 10 minutes into the second half, recording the Green and White's second goal of the evening after the Seahawks had been backed up on defense for the first minutes of the period.

Four days later, the junior opened the scoring at Iona in the 23^rd minute. An interception deep in Iona territory gave the ball to sophomore Kaitlyn Ross (Sayville, NY / Sayville), who fed a perfectly-timed through ball to Bischoff. The forward stayed calm in front of the net and smartly put the ball into the bottom-right corner, giving Wagner a 1-0 advantage.
