A four-goal run by the Titans extended the home team's lead to 11-4 4:13 into the second quarter. Junior
Tori Meiklejohn (Boonsboro, Md. / Boonsboro) split the pipes with just over eight minutes remaining in the first half to make the score 11-5. Roughly six minutes later, Meiklejohn scored again, which was the final goal of the game for the visitors.
By the time halftime came around, Waynesburg trailed 14-6. Westminster sealed the win up with a trio of scores in the second half.
Caldwell recorded Waynesburg's final assist of the season, while senior
