Midway through the second half, Cristian Garcia (Whiting, Ind./Clark) would pick up his fifth goal of the season on a pass from Garza to help solidify the Peregrines 4-0 win.
Freshman keeper Jonathan Lozano (Hammond, Ind./Bishop Noll) registered his first shutout in goal for the Black and Gold, recording four saves in the victory.
