In the second half, the Lancers doubled their lead on a 57^th minute goal by Maldonado, a 71^st minute unassisted goal by Liquori and the sixth and final goal in the 75^th minute of the foot of O'leary for her second score. The Buccaneers did their best to find the back of the net but the Lancer defense and goalkeeping was too much and the game finished by the score of 6-0 in favor of the first place Lancers.
