Gabby Russo entered the UT record books as well as she had an overall strong offensive game, scoring two goals and contributed four assists in just 36 minutes of play. Russo's goals were her first and second of the season. The sophomore matched her own school record as it went down as the fifth four-assist performance by a Spartan.

Courtney Peffley, Cici Gonzalez, and Lauren Moore each scored two goals. Peffley added two assists, while Gonzalez and Moore had one apiece.

The Spartans finished with 45 shots to go with a school-record 29 shots on target. Warner was limited to just one shot, which resulted in its lone goal.
