The Bears (17-2) made it 2-0 at halftime on Katie Chandler's sixth goal of the season in the 30th minute.  Second-half goals by Anna Sippel and Darcy Cunningham put the game away for Washington U., which advances to Sunday's second round against the winner of DeSales vs. Denison.

The Spartans managed 10 shots in the match, three on goal, while Washington had 20 shots and forced YCP keeper Kate Lutte to make nine saves.
