Forward Dean Miller then struck with the Falcons' third goal in the 57th minute as he scored on a header off a long cross from forward Martin Lange.

After a shot from Malone defender Treg Lunger deflected off the crossbar, Sharpnack knocked in the rebound for his second goal of the season. 

Owens then wrapped up the scoring by firing a shot into the net from about 20 yards out.
