Staples had a chance to even the score with five minutes left in the half. Hailey Roraback drew a foul. Katharine Shackelford took the foul kick, which was deflected back to the corner where Shackelford took a shot but did not score.
In the second half, Staples took a couple of shots on goal, but none made the net.
Warde scored at 19 minutes and 25 minutes, putting the game away for good.
