UMW extended the lead to two goals when Brielle Mitchell beat the keeper on a dish from O'Fallon.
In the second half, UMW kept the scoring going this time producing a pair of goals in a 36-second span. O'Fallon connected on a goal from Brooke Bauman at the 57:16 mark before Macey Wissell hit the scoresheet on Zimmerman's second assist of the contest.
