The Blue Devils then took it to the Golden Eagles for the next 20 minutes or so and Allison Snowden (SO/Kalamazoo, Mich.) had to make a big save to keep the game at 1-0. The Golden Eagles began to play much better at the end of the half creating some good chances but tt wasn't until late that Cornerstone got the 2nd goal as the Blue Devils were called for a hand ball and Kerri Hoffman (JR/Hamilton, Mich.) tucked the penalty into the lower right corner to give CU a 2-0 lead just before the half.

Lexie Brisson-Fast (JR/Ferndale, Mich.) scored her ninth goal of the season about 10 minutes into the second half to put the Golden Eagles up 3-0 and the game would end with the same score.
