Winter extended lead after he converted a penalty kick at the 9:14 mark. Winter then increased Spartan advantage to 3-0 at the 9:51 mark when he launched a shot from the left side of the box that hit top-right of the net. With the two scores, Winter now has a team-leading six goals on the season.
Sophomore forward Seldon Magruder capped off the Spartans' scoring with his third goal of the season after he headed a perfect cross from senior forward Alex Besl into the back of the goal.
