The Captains opened the scoring in the 11th minute of play when junior forward Ashley Traylor (Stafford, Va./Colonial Forge) notched a goal off a feed from freshman defender Kelsey Dusch (Virginia Beach, Va./Cox). Subsequent scores by Black in the second half stretched CNU's lead to the final 3-0 margin.
