The Bulldogs cut their deficit in half in the 29th minute, as Sztyler-Magee got behind the Golden Bear defense on a breakaway, dribbled around charging WNE goalkeeper Alex Lemekha (Stamford, Conn.), and buried a shot into the back of the net.
Hill tallied her second goal of the season on a shot from well outside the box in the 40th minute, before Bruehwiler capped the scoring on a feed from junior Mariana Goncalves (Ludlow, Mass.) early in the second half.
