Wilkes got on the board when Ashley Ream scored following a penalty corner on a pass by Lauren Pauling as King's took a 3-1 into the halftime break.

In the second stanza King's came flying out of the gates as Berryman scored off an assist from Quinones just 2:12 into the final frame. There, the flood gates opened and Berryman scored again at 29:20 before Jackie Sikora found the back of the net at 24:33 to push the score to 6-1. Berryman then scored her third goal 2:14 later and Quinones closed out the scoring with her third goal of the game with 17:11 remaining, allowing Lady Monarch coach Cheryl Ish to clear the bench.
