13 minutes into the second half Hannah Walker scored to increase the Lady Wildcats' lead to 5-1. Sophomore Kerrah Clymer found the back of the net with just under 10 minutes remaining off an assist from Poirier, but Athens again scored not even a minute later as Hutchison completed her hat trick.
Poirier scored Wellsboro's final goal off an assist from Clymer with 6:31 remaining.
Athens took 23 shots on goal compared to Wellsboro's 6 and had an 8-1 advantage in corner kicks. Madison Jocelyn recorded 2 saves for the Lady Wildcats while freshman Lilly Abadi made 16 stops.
