Lead-off batter Megan Wiggins extended the lead in the second with an RBI single through the left side of the infield and later stole home to put UGA up 5-0 after two innings.
The Bulldogs posted four runs in the fourth highlighted by a two-run double to left by catcher Ashley Razy that provided the final score of 10-0.
