The first goal of the game came in the 40th minute of play off of a free kick by Alyssa Bosak. Bosak sent the ball in towards the goal where Lulu Phan received it outside the 18-yard box and shot it past the Bears' keeper, Alayna Morris. The Royals took the 1-0 lead into the halftime break.
 
Queens kept the pressure on in the second half, getting four shots off. Their fifth shot and second goal of the night would come in the 79th minute of play when Alana Jefferson got the ball on the right side of the field. She beat her defender and slotted it over to Emma Rose Stockton who put it into the back of the net. With the Royals up 2-0 time would expire handing them the win.
