Vanderbilt’s Kim Szurovy scored twice and assisted on the other two goals to pace the Commodore attack. She scored in the 14th minute on what would prove to be the game-winner. She assisted Laura Koerner in the 37th minute to send the Commodores to the 2-0 halftime lead.

In the 57th minute of play, Cavalier keeper Julie Harris (Ridgefield, Conn./Ridgefield) was issued a red card for illegal usage of her hands. Frosh Ashley Mowrey (Alexandria, Va./West Potomac) came in for Harris . But Szurovy scored again in the 67th minute, with an assist again coming from Austa Helgadottir to put Vanderbilt up 3-0. Szurovy fed Jessie Wolfe with 30 seconds to go in the game for the final score of 4-0.

Virginia’s Angela Hucles (Norfolk, Va./Norfolk Academy) was named to the All-Tournament team.
