The Lady Patriots took an early lead less than two minutes into the game, after Junior Kourtney Edwards headed in the corner kick played by Senior Ally Bales. Edwards' second goal of the season gave DBU a 1-0 lead.

Junior Brittany Layne found an opening in the Jet defense, but her shot in the 33rd minute of the first half was denied by the Newman goalkeeper, Christina Farid. Farid was unable to control the shot, and Bales shot off the rebound found the back of the net for a 2-0 DBU lead.

Senior Chelsea Smith scored her second goal of the season off the cross from Lane less than a minute into second half, giving DBU a commanding, 3-0 lead.
