Lovisa Sigbratt scored in the 20th minute, followed by a penalty kick from Molly Branigan six minutes later. In the 32nd minute, O'Brien scored again on another pass from Pizano. Oxnard scored in the 38th minute, then Abby McCann made it 5-1 in the 40th minute.
"I was a little worried that we may have been a little jaded from playing last night but I shouldn't have been," said Vaquero coach John Sisterson. "They all stepped up, worked hard for 90 minutes and reached our goal of three wins in three games this week.
"The girls were dominant from the first whistle and took a comfortable lead into the half. We were able to empty the bench and give everyone some good minutes. Savannah Ayers made three very good saves in the second half."
Emilia Sigbratt scored in the 58th minute and Elin Hedstroem found the net two minutes later with Emilia Sigbratt providing the helper that boosted the lead to 7-1.
Georgia Dover, who had a goal and an assist, completed the scoring in the 80th minute.
