Fordham looked for an equalizer a few minutes later, but two attempts by Kristina Maksuti went wide of goal.
The Billikens extended the lead to 2-0 in the 59th minute, when Jessica Lopez scored an unassisted tally for her first goal of the season. Lopez chipped a shot off the underside of the cross bar and bounced into the net.
