She would add a second just before halftime. The junior from Brazil struck twice more in the second half, once in the 51st minute and again in the 64th.
Missouri Baptist managed just a single shot on goal in the opening 45 minutes and only slightly improved in the second half, posting just three. Martin Methodist peppered Spartan keeper Alex Lair all day to the tune of 16 shots on target (25 total attempts).
