After having over a week off the Columbia International University women's soccer team came out sharp and used their rest to race past the Wildcats of Johnson & Wales- Charlotte. The Rams won 3-0 as they improved to 2-1-1, while the Wildcats drop to 1-4.

It didn't take the Rams long to score their first goal as Sotiria Tsilionis was able to take the pass from Janie Holland and find the back of the net to give the Rams a 1-0 lead only 1:36 into the game. After that goal neither team was able to get a shot off, until the Wildcats would take a shot that was saved by Anna Mershon. At the 15:21 mark the Rams would pick up their second goal of the game. After some crisp passing between Taylor Endicott and Alanna Battermann they were able to find Janie Holland on the other side of the goal mouth and she was able to chip the ball in to give the Rams a 2-0 lead. The Rams would finish the half with nine shots from a number of players, but they would go into the half with a 2-0 lead.

The Rams came out firing on all cylinders in the second half just as they did in the first half. The Rams were able to get a lot of shots off and spent a good majority of the time on the Wildcats side of the field. The Rams were able to pick up their third and final goal of the game when Holland collected the ball after the keeper couldn't control the ball from a Naomi Reed shot. As the horn sounded the Rams were victorious and won by a final score of 3-0.
