The lone shot came from Kate Cox in the 42nd minute from the right center of the field just outside the penalty area.
In the second half, Wayne State came out firing, scoring its first goal in the opening 30 seconds. Tyler Donaldson took the ball up the right side before firing a cross pass to Taylor Woods, who snuck the shot between the Warrior goalie and defender.
Morgan Mancuso recorded her first goal of the season in the 60th minute. Donaldson pressured the Warrior goalie and deflected a kick right to Mancuso, who had an open net for the Wildcats' second score of the half.
The Wildcats' third and final goal came in the 61st minute off a Donaldson feed to Woods, who headed the ball over the goalie. Wayne State held off any comeback attempt from the Warriors to secure the 3-0 win. Donaldson ended the game with a career-high two assists.
WSC recorded five shots in the second half, with four of them on goal. Hoffstetter ended the contest with five saves against the Warriors.
