Amy Larson. Her second goal gave Gustavus a 5-0 halftime advantage. Engh finished off the Gustie scoring with the final two goals of the game in the 71st and 83rd minutes.
Gustavus dominated the entire game, outshooting Bethel 31-2.

Heather Pecosky,
Jackie Lehman, and
Amy Larson all added one goal apiece for the Gusties. Pecosky, Mutebi, Larson,
Kelly Keith,
