Just three minutes later, the Sharks notched their second goal as Malin Broberg sent a pass from the left side of the field and Elizabeth Haumschild slotted a shot past the hands of Evans into the back of the net.
With just four minutes left to go in the first half, the Sharks offense teamed up and forced a joint assist by Sierra Lelii and Sarah Keville to Haumschild, who blasted a shot into the net from 30-yds. out.
Nova Southeastern continued their attack during the second half, tacking on another goal in the 52nd minute.
