The second half saw more of the same, as Clark continued to control the pace of the game. South Puget Sound managed to threaten with a few shots, but Clark's goalkeeper Jake Bilsborough was up to the task, making key saves to preserve the shutout.

At 61:55, Clark doubled their lead with a well-placed shot from JP Warnell. The Penguins kept the pressure on, firing off 11 shots in the second half, with many testing Sciera, who finished the match with an impressive eight saves.

The stats tell a story of dominance: Clark outshot South Puget Sound 24 to 9, and corner kicks were heavily in favor of the penguins as well, with 10 to South Puget's 6. Bilsborough, who played a solid match in goal, made seven saves across both halves, earning him a clean sheet.

With the win, Clark remains at the top of the conference standings, poised for a strong finish to the season.
