The Wildcats scored twice in the second quarter and added another in the opening minute of the final quarter.

The Wildcats opened the scoring early in the second quarter when Brecken Calcari intercepted a restart pass and found Tasmin Cookman, who got a touch on the ball before sending an elevated shot to the left boards at 16:56.
The home team doubled its lead less than three minutes later when Kathelijne Knuttel collected a rebound in front and sent it in at 19:21.
Knuttel added another goal in the opening minute of the fourth quarter with a blast from the top of the circle off a corner.
