The visiting Knights added three more goals in the second half to take a commanding 6-0 lead. The Lady Lions' only goal came late in the game when Maria Schafer lofted a shot over the Bellarmine goalie for her first tally of the season. 

Julianne Sutton took the loss in goal, allowing all six scores and posting five saves.
