Just before halftime, Ana Baltazar doubled the advantage by finishing off an assist from Kaylee Gomez in the 42nd minute, sending the Rustlers into the break with a 2-0 cushion.

The Rustlers picked up where they left off, adding three goals in a dominant second half. In the 56th minute, Abby Kirby slotted in a goal off an assist from Miskelly to make it 3-0.
