File scored three times in the opening 7:30 and the Continentals led 9-0 after a free-position goal by Philbrick with 19:11 left in the first half.

Balzotti put the Camels on the scoreboard on a free-position goal with 17:56 remaining in the half but goals by Fletcher and Kara Pooley gave Hamilton an 11-1 advantage with 15:07 to go. Cassidy Lynch made it 11-2 with 12:58 left before the Continentals embarked on another big run.

Nora Klemmer's first goal this season capped the seven-goal run and gave Hamilton an 18-2 cushion 3:14 into the second half.
