Maddy McCaster and slotting it away with her left foot.
Minutes later, in the 25th, the Red and Black got a gift as a failed clearance by Oberlin ended up in the back of the net for an own goal. The third goal came in the 31st minute off the right foot of McCaster from well outside the box, sending it clear into the upper left corner.
