Wood eventually got her own goal in the 85th minute to give the Cougars some insurance. Wood scored directly from in front of the goal off a pss from
Mary-Kate Cogan. It was Wood's team-leading eighth goal of the season.
Averett's offense got rolling early when freshman
Claire Armstrong scored a little more than two minutes into the game on a header off a corner kick by fellow freshman
Ringa Remes.
Peace (1-10, 1-3 USA South) took advantage of an Averett misplay on a goal kick, which allowed Haley Bright to tie the game with her seventh goal of the season in the 17th minute.
Averett, which outshot Peace 34-16, couldn't connect on several other opportunities in the first half.
