The Bloodhounds found themselves locked into a scoreless tie at the intermission, but Baruch got on the board minutes into the second half on a goal by Edward Shin (Queens, NY/ Bridgeport) on a loose ball in front of the net.
John Jay had several opportunities late in the contest, but Baruch put the game out of reach in the closing seconds on a goal by Alex Sokol (Staten Island, NY/ Susan Wagner) with nine seconds remaining.
