Wesleyan jumped on the Hornets (0-4-1 overall) for six goals in the first half, including three goals in a span of 3:39 to blow the match open in the first 20 minutes. Five different players scored the first five goals before Moss added her second goal on a penalty kick in the 44th minute.
Erin Lucido (
Fr.-St. Louis, Mo.) opened the scoring with an assist from Koloko-Green just 8:45 into the match. Koloko-Green, Moss and
