Dordt got on the board in the 27th minute when Kate Du Mez launched a shot that cleared the Northwestern keeper's hands and bent into the goal with the help of the wind. Lindsay Baker made it 2-0 with her sixth goal of the season in the 37th minute and just two minutes later Lexi Elgersma got one in the net off a feed from Elise Wedel.
