This would be Rogers' third goal of the season.
 
It wouldn't be much later, 11 minutes exactly, that Jade Weir would send a hard hit free kick which would bounce off the goalkeeper's hands which teammate Bryanna Hoover would be in the right place at the right time to tap in the ball for the second goal of the game and her first goal of the season. The Chargers would head into halftime with a 2-0 lead.
 
The Chargers would open up the second half and it wouldn't be long before a corner kick from Taylor Byron would find the feet of senior defender Kara Spiezio who would put the ball in the back of the net for a 3-0 lead and her first goal of her Charger career.
 
The final goal of the game would be scored in the 55^th minute when Bryanna Hoover would place her second goal of the game into the left corner of the goal on an assist from teammate Megan Rogers. The Chargers would continue to control the game offensively, finishing the game 4-0.
