The BYU backs continued to use their speed and charged CMU’s defense before they had time to set up. Flyhalf, Matalasi Morrissette and wing Alisa Baker soon followed with tries as well.
CMU was quick to counter BYU’s rucks, but forwards such as Taylor Johnston and Kylie Clark continued to charge through and gain yards.
At the half, BYU led 46-0.
