Hill continued her hot play by finding Lindsay Pritchard, who struck a laser shot just inside the box to give the Mustangs a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute.
Hill, who notched a goal and three assists in Friday''s win over Texas A&M-Commerce, took a nice feed from Maddie Fraser at the top of the box in the 71st minute, composed herself and drilled a her sixth goal of the season past TWU keeper Beatrice Soto.
"Those were two great opportunities and really nice shots," Trimble said.
