Ronique Alexander and Adriene Baker scored their first goals of the season for the Devilettes in the first half of Sunday's match. Alexander opened the scoring when she and Issaka faced a 2-on-1 advantage, with Issaka passing to her teammate right in front of the open goal.
Baker's goal was the first of collegiate career. The sophomore was just outside the goal box after a corner kick, and headed in a pass from Ronia Pierre-Louis to give the Devilettes a 3-1 in the 32nd minute of the contest.
