The Eagles would expand their lead throughout the first half as they scored two more goals in the 38th and 40th minute to put them ahead 3-0 at half.
The Bobcats would fight back in the second half. Michelle Bailey converted a free kick from over 30 yards out that sailed to cut into the deficit. The Bobcats rally fell short as the Eagles struck again with a goal in the final minute of the match.
