CBU scored the first eight goals of the game as part of an opening 10-1 run against Redlands. Schwegler, Cayleigh Carter and Dora Lehoczky scored two of those goals.

The Lancers notched the first four goals of the second half, too, thanks to consecutive goals from Nicole Rhoads and single scores from Kinga Wisniewska and Gabrielle Aguilar.
