Cosby's offensive power just overwhelmed Maggie Walker GS Thursday night.
The Titans, ranked fourth in the latest DigitalSports Top 10, scored three second-half goals en route to a 4-0 victory.
Cosby attacked and attacked, and when it got done, attacked some more, wearing down Maggie Walker's defense.
Green Dragons keeper Cheta Emba had a phenomenal contest with 12 saves, but the Titans took too many shots for any goalie.
The first goal hit paydirt as Emba was pulled out of goal by Kim Accashian's run.
It bounced out and Kaitlin Robinson converted for a 1-0 lead. It was the only goal of the first half.
Cosby continue to pepper Emba and the Green Dragons at the top of the second half, but didn't score until the 62nd minute.
Becca Wann's throw-in reached the head of Alli Greene, who put it quickly toward the pipes.
Emba dove on the ball, but it was ruled that it had broken the plane.
Green Dragons coach Patti Glynn was displeased with the call and it seemed to take MWGS' spirit.
Courtney Hook came off of coach Anne Canipe's bench to score with nine minutes left, and Wann beat Emba one-on-one at the five-minute mark to complete the scoring.
"When you go up against tougher people I just get more pumped up," Accashian said. "Especially with Cheta, I've played with her before. I'm used to aggression and I like it. That's the way I play."
And that's the way Cosby notched another victory.
