Nothacker had a hand in the next two Shark goals, connecting with junior Sammi Hogan before scoring on a woman advantage. 

Stoller scored four of the Sharks six goals in the first quarter as Simmons held UMass Dartmouth scoreless throughout the period. With 36 remaining sophomore Melanny Sanchez-Alvarez put the Corsairs on the board.

UMass Dartmouth opened the second period with goal by Bella Mancini but the high-powered Shark offense remained potent. Junior Kat wood connected with senior Lilly Devitt for the tenth Simmons goal, before scoring the eleventh goal and took a commanding 13-3 lead into halftime.

Coming out at the start of the second half, Stoller added to her four-goal first half with a pair of goals in the third and fourth quarters. Hogan scored her third goal of the game in the opening minutes of the third, while Chausse registered a career single-game high three goals, scoring the second to last on a pass from sophomore Cameron Richards.
