The Lady Indians had first half goals from Madelyn Martin, Kallie Leiker, Taleia McCrae, Allison Shubert, and two goals from Maggie Robben. Hays had first half assists from Jersey Johnson, Sophie Humphrey, Caroline Robben, and Shubert. Martin struck for her second goal of the match a little over half way through the second half for the last goal of the match with an assist from Leiker.
