DU got on the board in the opening half at the 25:58 mark when Ashley Phillips (Stevensville, Mich.) scored her sixth goal of the year on an assist from Shayla Crossman (Hudsonville, Mich.).

The Panthers then iced the game in the 59th minute when Icelander Karitas Elvarsdottir scored her first goal in a DU uniform on a pass from Sarah Pitmon (Grandville, Mich.).
