The first half finished with two goals from Jacoby Miller and one more from Robbins. The final three goals were all assisted by Ethan Smith. The Pirates built off of their 5-0 halftime lead by adding three second half goals. Cy Miller scored twice after the break and Robbins finished a hat trick with his third goal of the game.
