In the 57th minute, sophomore Kasey Hahn scored her first goal of the year on a free kick from outside the 18-yard box. This gave Catawba a commanding 4-1 lead. 

Sharon Mayes rounded out the offensive onslaught with her first goal of the year on a feed by Summerell. This brough the score to its final score, 5-1.
