The Panthers jumped ahead early, as they were able to score in the 6th minute.

Mortimer found Delaney Stowe streaking down the left wing with a through pass, who controlled the ball and fired into the net at the near post. Stowe struck again for the Panthers just over 10 minutes later. Gardner once again pressured the Wells defense and forced a turnover, before turning and firing a cross-field pass to Stowe. The senior controlled the pass, took a dribble inside, and blasted a left-footed shot into the goal to double the lead. With time dwindling in the half, Stowe completed her hat trick in the final minute of the first. Kimberly Goodwin received a pass near midfield and touched a ball to Mortimer who was overlapping her on the right. Mortimer played a through-ball with plenty of space behind the defense, where Stowe was able to run onto the pass and slide a shot past the onrushing Wells goalkeeper for her third.
