Off a corner, H. Meyer inserted the ball on the left side to Troutman who lifted the ball high and over the Royals goalie.

Following two back to back Scranton shots, saved by Angelina Giglio-Tos the Royals doubled their lead off a penalty stroke. In the 42nd minute, Troutman assisted Long for the Blue Jays third goal of the game. After Etown was awarded a corner early in the fourth, Scranton took over from there. The Royals would notch two more goals within three minutes of each other to win, 6-3.
