Ruth Arino Ruiz in the final second.
Anna Tarantino scored in the first minute of play, and Arino Ruiz added one mid-quarter.
The lead grew to 6-0 as Arino Ruiz and Tarantino each scored and
Noa Sasover added the team's sixth. A lob shot put Concordia on the board with 3:25 to play in the first half. Over the final 2:08, LMU added goals from
Skye Nankervis and
Yanah Gerber to carry an 8-1 advantage into intermission.
The Lions shut out Concordia in the third quarter, outscoring the Golden Eagles, 4-0 in the period. Sasover, Arino Ruiz,
Carolina Magano, and
Tessa Matson added to the total to bring the score to 12-1.
Sasover started the fourth quarter with a goal and
Julia Erwin ended it with her first, sandwiching a pair of scores from the Golden Eagles.
Madison Davis made one save in the first half of play and added a steal.
Talia Herbermann recorded three saves in her 16 second-half minutes in the cage.
