In the 12th minute, Krista Eik Hardardottir sent a pass from Rosie Dunkerton into the net, giving the Lady Bulldogs a 2-0 advantage. Stokseth recorded her second goal of the game in the 21st minute, this time creating some space from a defender and blasting a ball into a net to move the score to 3-0.
