Emma Cole served as a one woman wrecking crew for the Eagles, scoring both goals from long distance to give OC the 2-1 win. It marked the first time OC has beaten RSU in the brief history of the series. The Hillcats defeated the Eagles 6-5 to claim the conference tournament championship in their last meeting in 2007.
