The second goal came in the 60
th minute and was assisted by

Matthews gained possession from a Bentley throw-in from the attacking end and made a move around an RWU defender into the penalty area. From there she drove towards the goal and centered a perfect pass that Hennessey finished from 12 yards to the near post.
Bentley finished the 90 minutes with a 29-7 edge in shots and 12-3 in shots on goal.
