Janet Seimeyeha netted twice for the Falconets before halftime, converting a penalty in the 38th minute and adding another just before the break with a chip over the goalkeeper.
Sarah Nyarko pulled one back for the Black Princesses four minutes into the second half, finishing a rebound for her second goal of the competition.
