The report says Wayne State managed only one first-half shot, but their attacking threat changed immediately after the restart.
A minute after Mancuso doubled the lead, Donaldson supplied another cross from the right. Woods headed home to complete her reported brace.
The pattern was clear: Wayne State’s attack became more direct, more aggressive and more effective once Donaldson began driving forward.
Winona State reportedly had six first-half shots compared with Wayne State’s one, forcing goalkeeper Alexa Hoffstetter into three saves before the interval. The Wildcats nevertheless reached halftime level.
The report says Hoffstetter finished with five saves and helped preserve the clean sheet after Wayne State moved ahead. That defensive resistance mattered. It allowed the Wildcats to survive Winona State’s early pressure before taking control of the contest.
Wayne State’s second-half improvement was also reflected in its shooting output, with five attempts and four on target after the break.
The reported result moves Wayne State to 3-5-0 overall and 2-3-0 in conference play, while Winona State remain without a win at 0-7-0.
The next storyline is whether Wayne State can carry this attacking sharpness into their reported trip to Concordia-St Paul on Sunday, with kickoff listed for 13:00.
