House, a transfer from Wyoming, joined freshman Dejah Holman with two goals apiece in the dominant road effort, helping the Sharks climb back to .500 early on in the year.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

• The early goal was the just the start of what ultimately resulted in a dominant display from start to finish for Nova Southeastern. Still holding onto the 1-0 edge in the 24^th minute, Holman converted a feed from fellow freshman Morgan Masters for her first career goal.
• A mere 1:06 later, it was Masters finding the back of the net to extend the Sharks' lead to a comfortable 3-0 margin.
• It appeared Nova Southeastern would enter the break with the 3-0 lead until Holman cashed in with her second goal of the afternoon just 15 seconds before the halftime whistle.
• With the win already in hand, House added a late score for good measure in the 80^th minute before the defense preserved the impressive clean sheet down the stretch.
