UCF (3-1-2, 1-0 Big 12) got out to an early lead as Chloe Netzel netted a penalty kick in the eighth minute.
The Knights converted on two more set pieces before the half. After an attempted clear out following a corner kick, Taylor Jacobson found an opening for the score in the 22nd minute.
In the 37th minute, Edidiong Etim headed in another penalty kick to take a 3-0 UCF lead into the locker room.
