Three minutes later Druzanovic found Rafael Franco for another goal that gave Texas Wesleyan a 4-0 lead at the intermission.
Cameron Stapleton found the net in the 68th minute. Vedran Ceric and Kyle Fritz scored in the 75th and 77th minutes. Christian Villasenor capped the scoring on a pass from Chamquin Prince in the 81st minute.

Joakim Soderbaum needed five saves to pick his third career shutout.
