Magaro put the Warriors up 2-0 just four minutes later with unassisted strike from inside the box.
 
Arcadia (3-8 overall, 0-1 MAC Freedom) closed the gap to 2-1 in the second half on a goal from Caroline Weirich, assisted by Sheila O'Mara.
 
Senior goalkeeper Jess Riordan (Vineland, N.J./Our Lady of Mercy) made eight saves with two Warrior defenders also knocking balls off the goalline. Knights' goalkeepers Gabby Green and Julia Mendez made a combined four saves.
