Krysta Memis made it a 2-0 game when teammate Lina Boussif set her up with a centering ball in the middle to give Memis her first goal of the season.
A minute later, Jessica Unsihuay saved the ball from going out of bounds and centered it to La'Dae Boykin in front of the net to take a 3-0 lead into halftime. Unsihuay got back on the board in the 79th minute for her second and third points of the game and fourth goal of the season.
