The Falcons never looked back, eventually defeating the Trojans by a score of 8-0 before the weather put an end to the contest late in the second half.

Also contributing to the scoreline for the Falcons were White with a pair of goals and Neeld, Nash and Greta Rembold with a goal apiece. Those goals were assisted by Rembold, Alannah Miller, Nash, Neeld and Madison Bryant.
