Five-minutes later, at 13:02, Jessica Pierce provided her first of two assists on the night as she setup Alina Kilkenney for the Patriots' second goal.

Kasey Kemp reached the back of the net at 22:52 and Leah Malone scored in the 39th minute to put UT Tyler up 4-0 at the half.

Kemp gave UT Tyler the 5-0 win with her second goal of the night in the 58th minute on an assist from Chelsea Fiscus.

Lauren Hufham and Morgan Dux split the goalkeeping duties for the Patriots, but saw no action. Reed and Kendall Kramer each had four shots for UT Tyler.
