Less than a minute later Lydia Eichorn crossed a ball into the box where Brooke Firestone settled and fire a shot past the goalie for goal number two.

Later in the 71' Sunny Gelnovatch flicked a one-timer off a corner kick from Emily Lockwood for the score for the fourth goal. The offensive didn't stop there as Maddie Kohl scored just seven minutes later to increase the Falcons' lead 5-0, and then the final goal of the game came from Natalie Hoober in the 83' when she sent a long shot to the far post that found the back of the net.
