Hannah Smoot, who has six.
In the 33rd minute, Maryville was attacking near the Huntingdon goal when the Scots crossed the ball into the box. Instead of connecting with a teammate, the MC pass bounced off the body of a Huntingdon player and dribbled into the net for an own goal to put MC up 2-0.

Macy Lindsey. This was Lindsey's first goal of the season.

Just 25 seconds later,
Sadie Phelan would wrap up the Maryville barrage with her third goal of the season to put the Scots ahead 8-1.
MC outshot the Hawks 32-3 and held the advantage in corner kicks 7-0. Lee led the way with seven shots while Procter was right behind with six of her own.
