TCNJ scored three more goals in the first nine minutes of the second half before the Ospreys finally got their first chance as Carlie Flake (Tabernacle/Seneca) fired a shot that was knocked away by Lions' goalkeeper Kelly Schlupp at the 20:40 mark. Knight, who had a team-high three shots, also put an attempt on net but that too was kicked out by Schlupp. Two more tallies by TCNJ set the 17-0 final score.
