Whitaker and Foley connected again for goal #4 when Whitaker slotted the ball through Dixie's defense for Foley to finish inside the far post. Foley earned a hat trick for the night four minutes later when she finished Gill's assist and then assisted Brooke Woody's goal putting the Spartans up 6-0. Reagan Hardyman put goal #7 in the back of the net off an assist from Teagan Cassidy. Freese scored the final goal of the game by finishing Emme Greely's assist. Defenders Emma Sizer, Savanna Amburgy, Kate Handle, Laine Kuhns, and Emme Greely along with goalkeeper Leah Butterbaugh earned their 12th shutout of the season.

With these last 4 wins, Waynesville wraps up their regular season undefeated with a record of 15-0-0.
