The Lyons struck first in the second quarter off a tally from Claudia Gagne, but the Camels answered with a goal apiece from Melia Lorch (Encinitas, Calif.) and Anna Taylor (Pleasanton, Calif.) to lead 8-2 at the break.

Conn put the game to bed with a dominant third quarter, outscoring Wheaton 6-2 in the frame to lead 14-4 heading to the fourth.
