Rayne was credited with the assist. Just two minutes later Sarah Hoffman ricocheted a hard shot off the post that Katie Van Aken followed up with a header into the net, boosting the Haverford lead to 2-0. With eight minutes remaining, Mariah Baker knocked in her first goal of the season to give the Fords a final 3-0 victory over the Diplomats.
