The offensive onslaught continued with a two-RBI double by Kristen Tellier (2B), giving the Knights a commanding lead.
The Mount added two more runs in the bottom of the third. Norwood led off the inning with a single and scored on a double by Tellier. Ferara followed with another double, plating Tellier for the Knights' tenth run.
