The offense continued to roll in the third with three different goalscorers. Senior Teagan Blackie, and freshman Maddie Arsenault scored from the run of play while senior Julia Murch tucked home a penalty stroke.
The Eagles capped off the scoring midway through the fourth as Arsenault connected with junior Allison Drew.
