Katie Lederman and Bailey Aaron scored two goals apiece to lead GW scorers, while Alana Greene, Emily Mowbray, Tori Hampton and Kendall Lambert tallied one goal each.

The Owls opened up the scoring 30 seconds into the contest, but their tally was quickly matched thanks to Greene's goal with Hampton on the assist.

Now trailing 8-4, GW's offense rattled off three in a row, making it a one-score game in the final 12 minutes of play. KSU's leading goal-scorer, Siena Gore, scored a quick pair to create separation before Lederman struck again to get GW back within two.
