The Knights broke a scoreless tie in the 15th minute on a goal by Bethany Schultz, and then scored twice more in the next six minutes on goals by Hannah Mattek and Schultz to take a commanding 3-0 lead.
After Northland scored in the 31st minute to cut the lead to 3-1, MLC's Rachel Lindwurm scored late in the first half to push the lead back to three at 4-1 going into the half.
