The Colonels doubled the lead in the 58^th minute when Camry Huff (Waynesboro, PA/Waynesboro) played a corner kick in before an Aggie defender headed it in past his keeper.

Huff extended the lead to 3-0 in the 68^th minute when Alvaro Fernandez-Maldonado (Louisville, CO/Scranton) played a ball that Huff was able to shoot to the far corner from 18 yards out.
