In the first half, the Flames came out dominating as they quickly fired in a goal at the 10-minute mark. Liberty went on to score three more in the half to lead 4-0 heading into the break.
To start the second half, the Cougars retaliated to open up their scoring as Ouro-Gnao slotted one in for his first goal of the season to cut into the Liberty lead but still trailed 4-1.
The Flames continued the offensive pressure and proceeded to score three more goals with one earned from the penalty spot as Liberty took the victory with a dominant 7-1 score.
