Karolyne Blain scored twice for the Capers, finding the back of the net in the fourth and 24th minutes. The 2013 AUS most valuable player, Blain now has 14 goals on the season, tying her own CBU single-season scoring record and giving her 41 goals for her career.
Paula Serracin wrapped up the scoring in the 88th minute with her first career goal as a Caper.
Tiffany O'Donnell picked up the win in the Capers goal with two saves. Erin Visser made six saves for the X-Women.
