With just under a minute left top play in the first half Banin Patterson dished it to Lydia Johnson who punched a cross to Reagan Ross who's one timer was good to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead to end the first half.

Belmont continued their attack on Valparaiso to start the second half earning a pair of corner kicks in the first five minutes of the second half which led to the first Bruins PK of the year that Lillie Tabor drilled for her first career goal to put the Bruins up 2-0 in the 50th minute.

The Bruins refused to step off the gas, earning yet another corner kick that Tabor placed perfectly for Ross to do what she does best, slamming a header into the back of the net to earn a brace and put the Bruins up 3-0.

Belmont continued to control the match forcing the Beacons to play on their heels for a majority of the second half.
