Michelle Ondze pulled one back for the Epah from a dead-ball with 15 minutes to go.
There was addition of more bodies in defense upon replacement of Elena in the 83rd minute. Her departure was greeted by a standing ovation from the hundreds in attendance.
Huracanes defended resolutely to keep it at 5-1 till the final whistle which meant they are champions of the region with six points from two games.
