First to get on the board was Anna Methe, who scored two on the day while dishing out two assists and grabbing four ground balls.
 
After finding themselves in a tight game early on, the Rams were able to separate themselves with five goals in a row going into the second quarter. Two of which came from Cheyenne Greenenwald and Sydney Swift, both scoring their first goals of the season.
 
Nina Deer found her way into the action frequently, being a force on both offense and defense. Deer scored three goals, two assists, three caused turnovers, and picked up seven ground balls.
 
Maddie Althoff recorded her first win in the net this season. Kathryn Andries finished off the game, replacing Althoff after the first half.
