With the Seahawks taking 19 shots on goal, senior Mason goalie Meghan Powell saw plenty of action, making nine saves.

Junior midfielder Abby Johansen led the Mustang scoring with seven goals, followd by senior attack Taylor Bottock with five, senior midfielder co-captain Gwen Edwards with four and a goal each from senior co-captain Grace Kuipers and Christina Perez, and sophomore Abby Perez.

Senior defender and co-captain Chelsea Wilkes and Edwards had four ground balls each, followed by Johansen with three.

Wilkes and Edwards also performed well at the center circle, effecting five draw controls each.

In the second half, Mason was able to flex its defensive skills a bit, with senior defender Katrina Snyder and Perez making interceptions.
