All within the final 20 minutes of the half Pierre would add to Sargent’s goal with Ryann Barry and Lexie Hillmer scoring along with Jasimine Jost scoring twice to make it 6-0 at the break.

In the second half, off a free kick, Aung Aung Htoo would make it 2-0 scoring with 29 minutes remaining. Sey Heh would finish off the scoring for the Tigers picking up a 3-0 victory. While senior goalkeeper Haley Fabel would have liked a couple of the shots back, he made 10 saves in net, some highlight reel saves. Pierre drops to 3-6-3.
