Her second goal came as EIU flipped the field on a counter with
Amanda DaSilva crossing a ball to the front of the net.
Ella Onstott had a the first shot with Little sending home a second chance for the goal.
On the defensive end,
Daniela Bermeo turned in her second straight clean sheet with eight saves. She made one point blank save late in the second half after EIU had built its two goal lead. PFW would also miss on a penalty kick opportunity with the shot going wide off the post.
