The lead grew to 7-0 on the first goals of the season by Amanda D'Amico (Smithtown/Smithtown West) and Kelly Durso (East Islip) in the 55th and 61st minutes, respectively. Branch assisted on both of those tallies. Jessica Welsh (Hamilton) closed the scoring in the 65th minute off an assist from Meg Redmond (Accord/Rondout Valley).
