Two early goals in the first half and a trio in the second half propelled WashU past the Panthers for the program's second straight win. The match saw five different players record a goal. The Bears outshot Principia by a final tally of 21-5. With the win, the Bears' record jumped to 2-1, while PC's record dipped to 0-3. 
 

In the first 12 minutes of action, WashU was able to generate a majority of the possession, utilizing through balls to move up the pitch. In the 12th minute, the Bears placed a cross towards the middle of the 18-yard box. However, the Panther's keeper was able to snag the dangerous cross to thwart the threat and to keep the match scoreless. 
 

Senior Rabee Haidari was credited with the first shot for either side in the 13th minute. The shot sailed over the top of the net to warrant a Principia goal kick. Just 30 seconds later, junior Landon Green laced a shot to the bottom right corner but was swooped up by the Panther keeper. 
 

WashU maintained pressure in the Panther defensive third that resulted in a flurry of offensive action. The Bears notched back-to-back shots in the 18th and 19th minutes, but two high quality sprawling saves kept the match tied at 0-0. 
 

In the 21st minute, senior Christopher Alwang registered his first goal for the Bears. Alwang sprinted into the 18-yard box and was on the receiving end of a through ball. Once Alwang grabbed possession, he flicked the ball up and over the charging keeper as the ball rolled into the left side of the goal to give WashU the 1-0 lead midway through the opening 45. 
 

Principia had its first chance in the 30th minute on a free kick from 30-yards out. The free kick soared up and over the net for a WashU goal kick. Just a few moments later, the Panthers were awarded another free kick from the same spot. This time, the free kick landed in the 18-yard box and harmlessly rattled off a few players that resulted in a Principia throw in. 
 

In the 41st minute, after a Principia turnover near midfield, WashU sprang into action. First-year Colin Link produced a nifty cross from just beyond the top left corner of the 18-yard box. The cross found fellow first-year Ethan Wirtschafter. Wirtschafter headed the ball towards the right post. The shot landed just under the keeper's diving arm and found the back of the net to open up the 2-0 advantage. The goal marked the first in Wirtschafter's career and the assist was the first for Link. 
 

The first half ended with a WashU free kick that landed over the net. In the first 45, with WashU leading 2-0, the Bears got off eight shots (five on frame), compared to Principia's three shots (none on frame). 
 

With the Panthers playing a man down, head coach Joe Clarke wasted little time dialing up more offense after the intermission. Just one minute and 34 seconds into the second 45, Radovich won a 50/50 ball beyond the 18-yard box. Radovich made a move on the defender, ran near the baseline, and delivered a perfect cross to senior John Daniels. Daniels settled and delivered WashU's third goal, off the helper from Radovich. The goal marked the second of the year for Daniels and the first assist for Radovich. After the tally, the Bears welcomed a 3-0 advantage. 
 

In the 52nd minute, after a turnover near midfield, sophomore Peter Radovich received the ball in stride and ran 40-yards down field. Once in the 18-yard box, Radovich torched his first goal of the season to open up a 4-0 cushion. The shot was sent over the leaping arms of the keeper and found the back of the net. 
 

Off a corner chance in the 80th minute, junior Joseph Hipskind scored WashU's fifth goal of the contest. Hipskind's goal marked the first of the year. 
 

In the end, WashU won their second-in-a-row by a final score of 5-0. The Bears outshot Principia by a final tally of 21-5. Radovich produced a match-high three points.
