A little over eight minutes later, freshman Ashley Johnson scored off a penalty corner to give the visitors a 2-0 cushion at 16:52.

Martin got in on the scoring action in the 26th minute as she scored her first of the season off an assist from sophomore Katie Farr. Junior Tiffany Weschler scored off a pass from freshman Lauren Smolla in the 32nd minute that capped a wild first half of play.
