Playing in a steady downpour, Howard saw Delaware State strike first in the eighth minute as junior goalkeeper Kyra Dickinson misplayed a shot by DSU's Chelsea Boursiquot, giving the Hornets a 1-0 lead.

Howard freshman Sandra Bond evened the score eight minutes later, taking a shot from the 40-yard line and arching it into the back of the net for her first goal of the season. Fellow freshman Zion Clarke added her team-high fourth goal in the 27th minute to give Howard some separation
