Junior goalie Elisabeth Stranzl made five saves in recording the shutout.
Against the Scorpions on Saturday, junior Rosemary de Vré-Heffern scored two goals and added an assist to lead Incline.
Also for the Highlanders, senior Brisa Tapia scored and assisted on another, Rancourt and sophomore Gabby Galvez each scored and senior Laura Flynn and Stranzl each had assists.
Stranzl stayed in goal for the first half and made a pair of saves as the Highlanders jumped out to a 3-0 lead. Freshman Kylie Erickson came in for the last 40 minutes and recorded three saves.
The Highlanders have nine games currently on their schedule. Their next game is scheduled for Thursday, March 18, at Yerington, and conclude the season April 10.
