Amanda Iwansky added another goal for UNO early in the second half to put UNO up 2-0 at 49:15.
Two minutes later MSU's Marti Klinsing was able to cut the UNO lead down to 2-1 when she snuck a goal past the diving UNO goalkeeper, Lauren Fox at 51:50.
MSU squared the game at 2-2 on a Carly Petersen goal at 69: 45 and were able to take the lead just 12 seconds later when Laura Leber took a Petersen pass and broke through the Maverick defense to score the go ahead goal.
MSU would add an insurance marker at 83:20 by Keri Blanchette, pushing their lead 4-2.
With the loss UNO falls to 4-5 on the season and 3-2 in conference play, while MSU upped their season record to 9-2, 4-0.
