The Tigers fired early and often against a young Torero back line, taking 14 shots in the first half. Nyby started the scoring early, grabbing a deflection off the goalkeeper and placing the ball in the back of the net in the second minute. Nyby added her second goal in the 32nd minute, receiving a pass from Enalen, sprinting passed the keeper and finding her second open net of the night.
With the two-goal lead, the Tigers gave the starters some time to catch their breath in the second half, only taking eight shots on goal while the Toreros attempted to get back in the game, putting five shots on goal. Johnson tacked on an extra insurance goal in the 72nd minute as great passes from Pashales and Molenaar found a sliding Johnson, who redirected the ball into the net.
