About 20 minutes into the first half freshman forward Mallory Mugnier scored off a crossed ball from sophomore midfielder Stephanie Martinez to put the Mustangs up 1-0.

With less than five minutes left before the half time break, Mugnier knocked in another goal to set the Mustangs ahead by two.

Mugnier led the team with 15 shots. The freshman played remarkably well under pressure up high."Mallory was on fire today and earned some well deserved goals," commented Mustangs Head Coach Tom Haney.
