Allie Sifford in the 14th minute.
Trailing 3-0, Hinds tightened up on defense over the 25 minutes, cutting down on the scoring opportunities for Northwest. However, Hamm would deliver another goal just before halftime, as
Raegan Tucker tallied the assist in the 43rd minute, giving the Lady Rangers a 4-0 halftime advantage.
Less than five minutes into the second half, McMackin scored her second goal of the match off an assist from Jensen, setting the wheels in motion for another string of goals. In the 53rd minute, Greer connected on her first goal of the season, pushing the Lady Rangers' lead to 6-0.

As the second half began to draw to a close, Kimbrell assisted Warner's goal in the 84th minute and Baker capped off the scoring in the 88th minute, thanks to an assist from McMackin. Of note, Warner's late goal was the 19th of her career, moving her into a tie with Abigail Morales (2014-15) and
Jadyn Duran (2022-23) for the 10th most goals scored.
