Pitt Johnstown increased the lead to 5-0 at halftime with a pair goals from Zack and one from Kelly.
The scoring continued in the second half. Zack completed her hat trick with a goal in the 53rd minute, and freshman midfielder Alissa Falcone (Murrysville, Pa.) made it 7-0 in the 67th minute. Coons tallied back-to-back goals in the 74th and 82nd minutes, before Kelly set the final score at 10-0 with her second goal of the match in the 84th minute.
Pitt Johnstown red-shirt freshman goalkeeper Stephanie Paha (Slickville, Pa.) faced just one shot and made one save in 65 minutes of action to earn the win and improve to 1-0-0 overall and 1-0-0 in the WVIAC.
With the loss, Salem International dropped to 0-2-0 overall and 0-2-0 in the conference.
