St. Francis evened the score at 12:43 with a corner-kick goal by Manny Magana (Dan Martinez assist), but from there it was all Lewis.

A goal by Scott Hall (Gavin Grogan) gave the Flyers the lead for good at 17:42. Sergio Lira's unassisted goal at 21:36 made it 3-1, and Mike Dahm (Sanabria) found the net at 23:43 to give Lewis a 4-1 cushion that held until halftime.

Second-half goals by Nick Kowalski (Alejandro Blinder) at 64:54 and Ryan Doody (Anthony Marsico) at 79:20 provided the final margin.
