Ohio Wesleyan 4, Rhodes 1

Rhodes closed to within 2-1 on a goal by Sheela Vasan midway through the second quarter, but the Bishops tallied once in the third period and once in the fourth quarter, with junior midfielder Emma Morgeson (Louisville, Ky./Christian Academy of Louisville) making it 3-1 early in the third and Ammon wrapping up the scoring with an unassisted goal with just over 3 minutes left in the game.

Ohio Wesleyan outshot Rhodes, 13-5.  Senior Brynn Schlesinger (Arnold, Md./Broadneck) was in goal during the first half and senior Meg McCarthy (Trumbull, Conn.) made 1 save during the second half.
