SCORING
- 61' | After Jillian Jennings struck an indirect free kick off of the right post, Samantha Agresti tried to poke the rebound home. Agresti's rebound popped out to an open space five yards off the post and Venezia got to the ball first, turned on it and hit a right-footed shot to the far post.
- 77' | After the ball was served across the field to the right flank, Karras carried it down the wing and then slotted it inside the box for Smith. Smith took a touch and placed the ball past the goalkeeper as the UNH defender converged.
