The team's momentum continued to surge, and in the 35th minute, Emily Kane capitalized on another brilliant cross from Julia Burd. Kane's composed finish extended the lead to 2-0 just moments before halftime.

In the 80th minute, Leah Williams showcased her skills as she advanced the ball towards the opponent's box. A perfectly timed pass set up Laura Breigle for a long-range shot that found the back of the net, sealing the match with the final goal. The victory also marked a significant milestone for goalkeeper Crista Schanbacher, who secured her first shutout for her collegiate record.
