Tatom scored her first goal in a Nicholls uniform on Friday, as she headed in a ball off of a free kick from Renee Bruns who was credited with the assist.

ORU's main attack came from just three players, as Megan Giles scored the game's first goal with the assist going to Mary-Kate Halsmer, as Giles then assisted on the first of back-to-back goals from Kayla Keller in the 29th minute with Halsmer earning her second assist of the match in the 55th minute goal by Keller to put the Golden Eagles up 3-0.
