Two minutes later, Amelia Yordy beat the keeper to a loose ball near the endline to the left of the goal and tried to fire it in the net on a tight angle, but it rolled just right of the goal.
Emma Greggo fired a speculative shot in the 39th minute that the Wilkes keeper managed to save.
The visitors held a 5-2 in shots and a 6-1 advantage in corner kicks.
The Colonels doubled their lead in the 62nd minute on a shot from 20 yards out the nestled into the bottom right corner of the net.
