Katrina Abel had the SFU's best chance of the half, hitting the cross-bar in the 32^nd minute.
 
SFU came back in the second half and again were turned away not by the WOU keeper, but by the post as a Sierra Leung shot just ricocheted off the post allowing the home side to keep advantage.
 
Minutes later, after successfully defending two corner kicks, the Clan gave up a free-kick just outside the box, and Taylor Higa was able to put home the 2-0 ball off the cross.
 
She would score a second goal only six minutes later putting the Wolves at 3-0 with 25 minutes remaining.
