Nine minutes later, Evelyn Logie played a short pass from a corner to Gallagher, received the ball back and played a short cross into the box that bounced around before the keeper punched it back out.

In the 39^th minute, MU gave the Bengals defense a case of déjà vu, with Edgell again playing Gallagher through on the left side. This time though, her shot went just wide of the far post.

Seconds later, the Cougars made it 2-0.

In the second half the Cougars had several chances to increase their lead and in the 79^th minute, they found the back net for a third time.
