Metzold scored the Vikings first goal at 32:58 as she connected on a corner kick, which sailed by the keeper and into the back of the net. The Vikings second goal was scored by Metzold and was unassisted as she gathered the ball and dribbled through the middle for the open shot on goal.
Clough scored her first goal with 2:58 remaining in the first half as she sent her shot to the top left corner of the net for the score. Clough finished the weekend with six goals scored after her second goal of the day, which was assisted by Metzold through the middle of the field.
With 1:55 remaining in the game, Clough found Metzold open for her third and final goal of the game.
