Rhea Cosand made a nice move to set up a score to open the second quarter, but Stanford responded to the Aggies' 3-0 run with two goals of their own.
Gebhardt scored her second goal shortly after, but two more Stanford scores pushed the lead to 13-4 with six minutes left in the half.
Gebhardt finished a hat trick, while Reese Loseke found the back of the net as well. Stanford scored again before the break, making the deficit nine goals, 15-6.
