MU came out energized in the second half and got on the board early when Devin Simpson placed a shot from 25 yards out over the outstretched hand of the Del Val goalkeeper in the 48^th minute.

Five minutes later Ashley Edgell got on the end of a loose ball in the box to make 2-0.

Kylen Smith's low driven shot from the left wing made 3-0 in the 70^th minute.

Delaware Valley got one back in the 83^rd minute, but MU's Kristen Murphy responded just four minutes later to push the lead back to three goals.

The Cougars won the shooting battle 36-5 and took 11 corners.

With the win, MU moves to 9-2 and will travel to Gettysburg, Wednesday at 5:00.
