Cumberlands took control of the possession early tallying 17 shots and earning six corner kicks in the first half.  The Patriots struck first in the 22' as Nicole Araujo's shot deflected off the post, however, Abigail Little was there for the putback giving UC a 1-0 lead.  The Pats continued to control the possession notching four shots over the next 15 minutes of action.  Late in the half, Sokolove put a well-placed ball, off a corner kick, into the middle of the box where Ose finished to extend the lead to 2-0.

The Patriots extended their lead early in the second half, as Sokolove put a beautiful corner kick into the box, where Madison Long headed it into the net for her second collegiate goal.  Two minutes later Sokolove sent a ball to the front post, where it deflected off the keeper before Soto connected for her first goal of the season to make it a 4-0 lead. On the next Patriot possession, Ose played the ball forward to Saldivar, who sent it into the box for Soto to finish completing her brace.

Cumberlands struck again later in the half with three goals in a three-minute span. Ose sent a strong ball forward to Robertson, who took one touch before sliding the ball into the goal.  Ines Martin Garcia De La Torre converted a penalty kick, before Saldivar netted her first collegiate goal with a header off a cross from Robertson.  Robertson closed out scoring with her second multi-goal game of the year. 

UC notched a season 40 shots and 13 corner kicks in the match.  The 40 shots are tied for sixth most shots in a game in program history.
