After the Gauchos had two point-blank shots stopped by the Trinity Western goalkeeper, Standish, a sophomore, broke through in the 59th minute. She collected a deflected shot by Chayse Yu and put the ball away.
Halscheid, a senior, scored off a nice pass from Stella Etcheverry into the middle of the penalty area in the 86th minute.
The Gauchos outshot their opponents from British Columbia 15-4 overall and 9-1 in shots on goal.
