Getting a steal shortly after the reset, a textbook 2-man game broke out between Maria and Fagundes working toward goal resulting in Maria's second of the contest.
Neres netted the next two in a two minute span, rebounding Behrens defected shot off the crossbar with a header to net before weaving around multiple defenders to complete the hat trick pushing the lead to 11-0.
Getting another steal off the reset, Fagundes joined Neres with the trio of goals fifteen seconds later to complete her eight point afternoon with 15:51 left in the game.
