Kinsey Geasland scored the lone goal of the first half, burying a shot into the right corner with an assist from Braelee Epp. The goal was Geasland's ninth of the season, giving her sole possession of the league lead, a mark she held for nearly 40 minutes.
Midway through the second half, Saoirse Hourigan stepped up for a free kick from well outside the box and delivered a beauty into the right corner, finding the one spot the goalkeeper could not reach for her second goal of the season.
Less than two minutes later, Geasland returned the favor to Epp, setting her up to find the back of the net. Epp's goal moved her into a tie with Geasland for the league lead with nine goals on the season.
