Freshman midfielder Paige Noble (Egg Harbor Township, NJ / Atlantic Christian School) would follow-up two minutes later with her first career goal (34th).

As the second frame got underway, Valley Forge (0-7 / 0-3 United East Skye Division) would attempt their only shot of the game, sailing out high. Cairn would add to their lead as senior midfielder Teresa Lee (Jackson, NJ / Calvary Academy) would push the margin to 3-0 in the 75th minute.
