With 22:16 left in the second period, Dewan and Kern teamed up again to make it a 6-1 lead.

The Griffins rallied for back-to-back goals to cut it to three.

But Redlands gained scores from sophomore attack player Kali Wilgus (Portland, OR) and sophomore midfielder Megan Prickett (Poway, CA) to extend its lead to five.

Fontbonne found the back of the Bulldogs' net for the final time with 10:01 to go.

However, Wilgus and senior attack player Diana Frey (Silver Spring, MD) provided insurance goals for the Maroon and Gray, leading to the final tally of 10-4.

Redlands took 43 shots, compared to Fontbonne's eight, but the Griffins' goalkeeper racked up 17 saves to keep the Bulldogs at bay.
