Nine minutes after the break, Boone picked up her second assist of the night when Robinson scored her second goal to push the lead to 3-1.

Apollo closed the scoring with six minutes remaining, converting a penalty kick to make it 4-2.
Robinson finished with two goals for the Lady Wildcats, while Boone had a goal and two assists. Redd added a goal, and Esposito finished with an assist.
