Adams connected off a corner in the 69th minute to give the Rams the lead for good. Sophomore Stephanie Power (Dartmouth, Nova Scotia) assisted on the goal.

VCU added an insurance goal in the 77th minute as junior Hayley Moorwood (Auckland, New Zealand) tapped in a cross from junior Laure Dupont (Plessis Robinson, France) to put the Rams ahead 3-1.

VCU held a 13-3 advantage in shots, including 8-2 for shots on goal.

Junior Lauren Hardison (Midlothian, Va.) earned the win in the nets for the Rams, recording one save. April Eilering had five saves for the Hatters.
