Ashley Flores converted a penalty kick to double the Beacon advantage in the 49^th minute before Ruby Daniels got in on the scoring. Daniels gave Bushnell a 3-0 lead in the 61^st minute of play, sending in a pass from Puita.
 
The Beacons finished with a 15-6 shots advantage on the match, including five off the foot of Daniels. Puita added four shots, two on frame. Lexi Bates and Natalie Romero split time in goal for Bushnell.
 
Dani Waialeale led the Argos (2-6-1, 1-3-1) with two shots. Maya Amundson got the start in goal, gathering four saves on the day.
