- The Lynx took the lead in the 20th minute as Haley Greenwade played a nice through ball to Jordan Joseph who was able to slot in her first career collegiate goal.
- Carroll doubled up the lead five minutes later as Emma O'Donnell dodged through the defense and dribbled around the keeper to tap into an empty net.
- The Lynx kept up the pressure in the second half as Talula Castanzo scored directly off a corner kick midway through the second half, followed by Greenwade scoring on a long shot to make it four.
