Haley Moser jumped into the offensive attack next as she saw a clear pathway open up for her to drop one into the top right to make it 2-0.

Closing out the half for Emerson was Courtney Major who flashed some moves to take a clear shot to the top right to make it 4-0 as EC never let Wheelock get a shot off in the first half.
The second half saw EC play conservative as Melanie Escobar took the helm in goal where the Lions allowed only one shot in the game. The offensive output ended on the night for Emerson with Courtney Major going unassisted to put one past the back right of the night to pull it to 5-0.
