Washburn is unbeaten in seven straight games, while allowing just one goal.
"A great team performance from us today,'' Washburn coach Davy Phillips said. "We were able to force the game into places we felt comfortable in the first half, and in the second half, we grinded out an important team win.
"I'm so proud of the team for this weekend's performance."
Washburn would break through in the 33rd minute with Searcey's first goal of the day.
Washburn was held to four shots in the half, with two being on goal. Ichabod goalkeeper Lili Everley had one first-half save, as Pitt State had six shots in the half.
Washburn would continue to defend their goal, and in the 84th minute, Searcey would score her second goal of the game and fourth on the year to put away the Gorillas.
Washburn faced 13 shots from the Gorillas, and Everley would record five second-half saves for a total of six on the day.
Washburn heads back home, where the Ichabods will host Northeastern State at 6 p.m. on Friday night at Yager Stadium.
The Ichabods will host Rogers State next Sunday at 1 p.m.
