The Mustangs added another goal from Cameron Lowry in the 31st minute. Lowry was assisted by Devin King and WWCC took a 2 to 0 lead into the half. The Mustangs took control of the possession in the second half and limited the chances for CMC, the third and final goal came off the foot of Allen Deru, assisted by Colt Klements, in the 76th minute.
