With the victory, NWU gets their record back to .500 at 3-3 overall, while York College remains winless with a 0-4 mark on the year.
 
On the same day that she was named the Iowa Conference Player of the Week, Georgia Straka continued her hot offensive performance with the first two goals of the match.  Straka got her first goal at the 16:41 mark on an assist from Natalie Graves and Shannon Jerram.  Straka struck again at the 24:39 mark with assists from the same two teammates.
 
Syd Nelson then got into the scoring action for the Prairie Wolves with a goal in the 27^th minute off an assist from Kaitlyn Sullivan.  That made the score 3-0 which would be the result at intermission.
 
NWU added one final goal in the second half when Natalie Graves found the back of the net with less than five minutes remaining.  Her goal was assisted by Carah Criner.
 
Madi Francis posted her second shutout of the year with two saves in goal for the Prairie Wolves.
