Kat Thomsen followed with a direct kick goal two minutes later and Emma Pratt buried a high shot from outside the box in the 12th minute for a quick 3-0 lead over their Clinton Hill rivals. Siena Sujitno finished a nice feed from Anna Crawford as Pratt (1-0) saw four different Cannoneers find the back of the net by the 22-minute mark.
With less than five minutes before the intermission, the black-and-gold collected a pair of braces with Thomsen scoring in the 41st minute and Nolan converting on a penalty in the 44th to take a 6-0 lead into the lockers.
Rookie Claire Hook scored her first collegiate goal in the 66th minute for the lone tally of the second 45 and the final 7-0 deficit.
Pratt controlled the contest throughout, maintaining a 38-1 shot advantage. Emma Gaspari and Savannah DePaz combined for the clean sheet in goal, with DePaz stopping the lone shot on net in her collegiate debut.
