• La Salle had its lone shot attempt with 32 seconds left in the quarter
• VCU opened the scoring in the 20th minute after Field collected her own rebound off a penalty corner and beat the goalkeeper
• The Rams doubled their lead four minutes later as Gregory played a pass from the end line across the goal to Rosenbrock who lifted her shot over the keeper to make it 2-0
• VCU's defense didn't allow a shot for the final three quarters to preserve the win
