The Wolverines improved to 2-0 and have outscored their opponents 14-1 to open the season.

Sophia Overholt had her second five-goal outing in as many days, scoring all of those in the first half. Caroline Taylor had three assists on those goals, with Hayden Blackwell and Zaelea Eller assisting the others.
