DiMartino got the Knights on the board first with her second goal of the season coming in the 20th minute after putting in a ball from Briana Yanez.
Seven minutes later it was Yanez who dribbled in from midfield, got past a defender, and beat IVC's goalkeeper for her second goal of the year.
In her quest for a goal, Milla Beckwith took six shots in the first 38 minutes of the match, but three of them were saved and another hit the crossbar. But then, in the 42nd minute, she finally broke through with a strike from the left side with an assist from Yanez.
Less than a minute later, Beckwith sent a long pass to Miranda Blanco who then dribbled in towards the left side and scored into the bottom right corner of the frame to give the Knights a commanding 4-0 lead.
Imperial Valley got one back in the 58th minute, but the Knights got one more to end the day. In the 70th minute, Blanco set up DiMartino for her second goal of the game and the final goal of the season.
Goalkeeper Daniela Alfaro finished with six saves on the day.
