After that, Niah Hidalgo showed off her speed and punched in two more to make it 3-0 in favor of Salem. Late in the match, Audriana Medina sealed the big win for the Tigers with one more goal to make it 4-0. Salem's defense held off any final Shock pushes, and the Tigers earned the exciting 4-0 win. 

Statistically, Salem was led by the 2 goals from Niah Hidalgo, and a goal each from Audriana Medina and Gabriella Briceno Cajiao. Janiya Brooks-Crew played well in the game to earn the shutout, and tallied 3 saves.
