The Rams outshot the Lions 44-3 (16-1 on goal) and led 12-3 in corner kicks. Olson added an assist to her three goals. Watton’s three assist matched the school’s single game record.

 

“We got it together and played pretty well offensively and defensively today,” commented head coach Josh Gibbs. “These are the kinds of games you need heading into the conference tournament.”
