Kayla Fay also scored her first goal with an assist from Taylor Maucere. In the 42nd minute, Casey Underwood finished off the first half scoring from Wesleyan with her second goal of the season.

It did not take long in the second half for Wesleyan to get on the board again. Zetty scored her second goal of the game with an assist from Natalie Prater in the 51st minute. Lauren Baumgartner pushed the lead to 7-0, while Alison Crecelius and Taylor Rhodes finished off the scoring for Wesleyan, scoring in the 76th and 86th minutes respectively.
