HOW IT HAPPENED
- 8' |Â Linda Boama took on a defender down the right flank and as she neared the end line, centered a ball back towards the penalty spot. Sam Smith was able to open up her left foot to send the pass past the goalkeeper.
- 30' | Receiving a ball from Jenna Bike who was on the edge of the box, Ella Richards turned on her defender and had a high finish past the charging goalkeeper.
- 41' | A loose ball off of a long free kick fell to Michela Agresti in the box, and Agresti made a move to get cleanly past one defender and push the ball ahead for Richards to collect, take a touch and slot inside the left post.
- 48' | Samantha Agresti carried the ball down the left flank and just as she hit the end line, sent a ball back to the near post. A charging Abby McNamara beat the defender to the 50-50 ball to finish it inside the left post.
