Inside the Box Score
  • Western Carolina wasted no time taking the early 1-0 lead scoring at the 7:40 mark. Burchfield took a rebound off a shot by Lloyd, in front of the box, who pinged to Alexis DeMarco and to Burchfield who pings off the crossbar and into the goal beyond the outstretched hands of the Terrier goalie. 
  • The Catamounts made it 2-0 at 66:18. Marcil scored from outside the box about 20-yards out finding the left corner and past the diving save attempt by Terrier goalie Caroline Doss. 
  • Lloyd put the exclamation on the match with the third Catamount goal at 88:28. Lloyd took a pass from Abbie Lainhart, and juked the Wofford goalie forcing her to come outside the pipes and scoring when the net was unattended. 
  • Western Carolina ended the match with 16 shots, six on goal.
  • Wofford had only four shots, one in the first and three in the second.
