Abi Brady who scored for the second straight contest. Brady took Kumher's corner kick feed and deposited it into the back of the net to double Lancaster Bible's lead.
Senior Brook Cullum made it 3-0 with 4:45 to play in the first half as she took
Alexa Evans' pass from the end line and fired it home. Sophomore

Brianne Lieb scored a short time later as she netted the first goal of her collegiate career off of a pass from Wesner.
