Jordan Robinson testing the Sewanee defense in the opening seven minutes. Pope Scurlock put the Tigers ahead at 10:44 off an assist from Greer Brantley.
Addi Roberts kept the margin at one through halftime, making six first-half saves. Her final stop of the period came moments after a Sewanee shot struck the crossbar in the 42nd minute. Roberts made two more saves in quick succession early in the second half as the Tigers pressed for a second goal.
Kinsey Carter took Belhaven's lone shot after the break in the 63rd minute. Sophie Condon added Sewanee's second goal at 77:40.
Roberts finished with nine saves, while
Sidney Roest played the closing minutes in goal. Sewanee held a 24-4 advantage in shots, put 11 on target to Belhaven's none and earned all nine corner kicks. Wilson, Robinson, Carter and
