• The Continentals extended their lead with 9:18 remaining in the first half when Ledbury scored on a corner kick from Lauren Hanna '25. Hanna delivered a perfectly placed kick toward the top of the 6-yard box where Ledbury headed a shot that bounced past the diving keeper. 
• Isabel Harvey '28 gave Hamilton a 3-0 cushion on a goal less than two minutes into the second half. Zubarik applied pressure in Hamilton's defensive zone and intercepted a pass before passing it over to Cramer.
