Southwestern managed to double their lead ten minutes into the second half when forward Alejandro Camacho found the back of the net. Three minutes later, freshman Dragan Maksimovic scored one for the Chargers to cut the deficit in half.

However, starting at the 64th minute the Jaguars erupted for 4 goals to put the game away. Alejandro Camacho nabbed two goals in the 64th and 68th minute, both assisted by Esteban Correa, for the hat trick. Forward Daniel Corona scored in the 70th and 72nd minute for the brace to give Southwestern a 6-1 lead. Two minutes before the final whistle, Jose Ramirez added one more to the Jaguars tally thanks to an assist from Mario Carrillo to end the game.
