Delridge created the momentum that EWU would feed from for the remainder of the match after slotting the ball in the back of the net in the third minute from an assist by McKaley Goffard. Eight minutes later Terrill slipped the ball into the net to give the Eagles the two-goal advantage.

The Eagles found a third goal before halftime from sophomore Riley Walkington who dribbled through a few defenders and found the bottom right corner to make it 3-0 in EWU's favor.

The Eagles started the second half with the same energy as the first, scoring a fourth goal in the 47^th minute from Goffard. Brooke Flores collected the fifth goal in the 75th minute and the Eagles closed the match with a 5-0 shutout over the College of Idaho.  

Both Goffard and Flores collected a goal and an assist in the match as the Eagles cannoned 24 total shots, landing 12 on target from nine different players. Goffard was awarded the offensive player of the week nod and goalkeeper Kelsee Winston, who picked up her 15^th career shutout, earned defensive player of the week.
