The Badgers carried a 3-0 lead into halftime for the first time this season.
Shorter scored the first goal of the second half in the 60th minute to make it a 3-1 game. An own goal by the Hawks in the 66th minute extended the Badger lead to 4-1. Stow capped off his Senior Day with an assist to Rutger Hesselink in the 73rd minute for his first career goal.
