The second score came at 9:42 off the foot of Cindy Lackey, who scored on a header from a cross on the left side from her sister, Becky.
The Jennies took a 3-0 lead in the 18th minute on a free kick just outside the right portion of the box by Emily Eldridge, who shot the ball over the goalkeeper’s’ head into the back of the net.
After Abby Rhodes‘ shot was initially blocked, Hannah Pyle put a loose ball in the bottom left corner of the net in the 21st minute to tack on UCM’s fourth score of the evening.
Southwest Baptist would get one of those goals back 40 seconds prior to halftime when Elin Hammar registered a score on a penalty kick.
