How It Happened

E&H continued to create chances, outshooting the Vixens 7-5, but the score would remain at 1-0 heading into the second quarter.
- The Emory & Henry offense got going early in the second stanza when sophomore midfielder Justyce Jones (Jacksonville, N.C.) found the back of the net just 45 seconds into the frame. Freshman midfielder Meg Bruner (Otto, N.C.) would follow suit on a free-position shot with 11:29 on the clock to make it 3-0. Junior attacker Mina Hicks (Lexington Park, Md.) caught fire through the middle stages of the quarter, scoring three consecutive goals over a four minute span to balloon the lead out to 6-0. Jones added two more before the half for good measure to give the Wasps an 8-0 margin heading into the break.
- Freshman attacker Avery McHargue (Weaverville, N.C.) opened the second-half scoring just 21 seconds into the frame with her tenth of the season and Jones added her fourth and fifth of the game to increase the E&H lead to 11-0. The Vixens broke up the shutout with a goal from Valen Foster to make it 11-1, but Hicks responded with her fourth of the game at the 6:53 mark and rounded out the quarter with her fifth tally to make it 13-1 heading into the fourth.
- Hicks tacked on another, this one of the man-down variety, and McHargue recorded her second of the game as the Wasps cruised to the 15-1 victory.
