She turned and fired a pin-point cross that connected with Stanley who managed to slip past a defender and flick the ball into the net giving the Titans a 1-0 lead.
Canisius got the equalizer in the 31st minute.
The Titans took the lead for good as a Canisius defender could not clear a cross which ended up on the foot of Piechocki. She held the ball in, turned and sent a cross into the box where Stanley ran past a defender and placed a shot to the low left side to beat Jordan Spencer for the game-winner.
