After a saved shot by Alexys Signor (North Haven, Conn.), Schlechtweg kept the ball in bounds before launching it high to O'Brien, who came streaking through the crease for the goal over the head of the goalkeeper.

• The visitors collected their last goal of the night with 58 seconds remaining as Cota notched her fourth goal.
