The second half did not fare better for the Tigers as Rockhurst quickly scored another four goals in the first five and a half minutes of the second half. Junior Olivia Miller added the third goal for the Tigers, but it would not be enough to spark a comeback.
First-year Kathryn Hopkins kept the Hawks from extending the lead with 15 saves in her first collegiate game.
The Tiger’s defense had issues clearing the ball only managing to clear 37 percent. The team also turned over 44 ball control opportunities.
Rockhurst picked up 46 ground balls to DePauw’s 25. The Hawks also outscored the Tigers 35 to 6.
