The sophomore Snaguski scored to open the half off an assist by Hardy. Later Snaguski repaid the favor, assisting on a goal by Hardy.

Morris scored her third goal of the game with 6:33 left in the quarter, but Washington and Jefferson got one back to make it a 12-6 game.

It was more back and forth in the final quarter as the teams combined to score 12 goals.

O'Connor added two goals, while Madelyn Noll scored her first. Meanwhile, Smith, Snaguski and Hardy all added to their goal totals with Smith and Hardy scoring their third goals of the game.

Wooster (4-0) outshot the Presidents (0-3) 37-25 and won 17 draw controls to Washington and Jefferson's 12. Hardy herself had seven draw controls.

Wooster also was successful in 17 of 18 clear attempts. Soleil Dubois collected three groundballs to lead the Scots, who totaled 18 in the game.

Ashley Reynolds made seven saves for her fourth win in goal.
