But GCA remained superior on the offensive end as they managed to set up Chloe Sariol with two scoring opportunities. She delivered at the 12th and 15th minute marks while teammate Kim Mikald squeezed in another goal to extend the lead, 4-0, going into halftime.
Although SVES played better defense in the second half, they were unable to score and had to accept defeat, 0-4.
