Arcadia extended its lead to 3-0 in the 34th minute when Bechtold netted her second of the night, picking up a loose ball in front and depositing it behind McLachlan, giving the Knights a three-goal advantage heading into halftime.
 
The Knights kept the offense going in the second half, including a stretch of three goals in 1:58, which was started when Carly Flickinger scored after she deflected a shot by Sedares from the top of the circle, making the score 7-0. Bechtold and Dougherty finished out the three-goal stretch to secure their hat tricks.

The Knights added three more goals from that point, to cruise to the victory.
