Michael Webber made his first save of the game in the 31st minute, swatting the ball over the crossbar on a close-range chip from Drew Parsons.
With six minutes remaining in the half, Drake Byrd made it 3-0. Byrd bested a pair of defenders and booted a left footed shot inside the near post.
Thomas broke through at 41:01 on a successful penalty kick off the foot of Parsons.
