Sophomore
Kaitlyn Hogue scored her first career goal and added an assist and redshirt sophomore
Carly Collins had her fourth goal of the season for the Warriors (7-8-1), who posted their third straight shutout and outshot the Golden Eagles, 29-1.
McKenna, a starting back for most of the last two seasons after playing forward as a freshman, opened the scoring in the seventh minute on assists from senior back
Linda Martine, the sixth of her career, and sophomore forward
Kerri McClay.
She assisted on Collins' header on a corner kick in the 18th minute, then got on the board again in the 65th minute in the second half on an assist from Hogue for her second goal of the season and the fourth of her career.
Hogue finished the scoring 10 minutes later, finishing a play that was started by junior midfielder

Courtney Keller – a starter at forward – made the save as the backup goalkeeper after coming on for sophomore
Brittain Wagner.
