She collected a loose ball in the box and drilled her shot into the far right side of the goal for her first goal this season. Sophomore Elizabeth Moore notched her fourth goal this fall in the 32nd minute. She scored on a diving header after a corner kick sent into the box by junior Megan Barwick.
