The Knights halved the margin before the end of the period as Arielle Rebek (Fr., Elmhurst, Ill.) punched in a score at the 4:30 mark, but UCF outscored Carleton 3-1 in the second period, including a pair of scores by Beauchemin to complete a hat-trick and tack on her fourth goal of the game to take a three goal lead into the break.
After scoring three consecutive goals to close out the second period, the Lady Knights continued the onslaught in the second half with three goals in the third period to push the lead out to 8-2 and cruise to a six-goal victory.
Nicole Chavez (Fr., Miami, Fla.) added a pair of tallies for UCF, while Stefanie Clark (Fr., Altamonte Springs, Fla.) and Crystal Milliken (Sr., Orlando, Fla.) chipped in solo scores to round out the Lady Knights' scorers.
