DiGiovanni opened the scoring the scoring in the fifth minute off a penalty corner when she redirected a shot in front past the goalie for her first of the game. Walsh doubled the Beaver lead in the 20th minute when she collected her own rebound, dribbled around a defender and scored on a hard shot from the right side.
