Bacon wasted little time putting the Royals (7-2-1, 3-0 Landmark) ahead, scoring just 4:43 into the match for her third goal of the season and 17th of her career. She added an insurance goal in the 86th minute to give her four goals this season and 18 for her career.
Senior forward Sarah Andrews (Mountain Top, Pa./Crestwood) gave the Royals a 2-0 lead at halftime when she scored on a header three seconds before the halftime horn.
