Two minutes later, Burchhardt drove home a shot off a pair of Chargers (2-6-1/0-6-1 NE10) and Dabagian finished opposite post via a Predanic feed to make it 3-0 midway through the period. Britt then knocked home a rebound for her first collegiate strike after senior midfielder
Sophia Constantine drove her corner off the post with 35:33 gone by. Three minutes later, Britt finished a rebound after senior midfielder
Carlletia Savizon struck the initial shot off the post.
