The Warhawks made it a 3-0 contest in the 83rd minute when Tasker Wheeler flicked a pass to the right side of the box, where Alexander Carey got around a defender and returned the ball to Wheeler for a header over the outstretched hand of MC goalkeeper Cole Turner for his second score this year.

William Blake stopped all five shots on goal to record his fifth shutout and improve to 6-2-3 overall.
