Olivia Tucker added her second of the game a little less than five minutes later, scoring from the same side of the field in the 52nd minute to extend the Bears' lead to 3-0.

Simpson headed an attempt on net after the goal in the hopes of cutting into the deficit but Valloch made the save.

Mercer scored its final goal in the 70^th minute. Anderson pushed out a curling corner kick from Emerald Phillips, but the ball found a waiting Danielle Hesse who converted from in close to make the score 4-0 in favor of the visitors.
