American added two more in the last three minutes of the half to take the 3-1 lead into the half.
The Crusaders continued to fight in the second half, but just couldn't get another one to go. The Eagles' Noor Coenen, Hannah Moser, and Lucy Whalley scored in the second half to bring American's lead to 6-1 and that's where it ended.
