Audrey Aim, Emily Baker and Alayna Rabozzi provided assists on the night for Alton.
The score was 1-0 at the half and Alton responded with three goals in the second half for the dominant win.
"We had some first-game jitters, but made some adjustments at half and scored in the first minute of the second half," Coach Howland said. "I was very proud of the team effort we had. We had lots of freshmen making their varsity debuts and rising to the occasion."
Peyton Baker was perfect in goal for the Redbirds.
"We are a completely different team than we were last spring and I think we will shock some teams who may be underestimating us," Coach Howland said.
