The onslaught continued in the 13th minute when Peri secured her second tally off an assist from forward

A pair of milestone goals closed out the first half. Midfielder
Karen Marin hammered home her first collegiate tally in the 32nd minute, and just three minutes later, forward
Vivian Villeda mirrored the feat with her own first collegiate goal to send the Lightning into the break with a 6-0 cushion.
Lehman kept the pressure on in the second half. Valentin notched her second goal of the match in the 53rd minute, and Huerta capped off the scoring evening with 16 minutes remaining on the clock.
