At the 31^st minute, Riley Wells took the ball up the right sideline and crossed it directly in front on the Lopers net for Olivia Harriger to get her first goal of the season. The next goal came five minutes later as Emily Munyer place a ball in front of Sydney Rosemann who was behind the defense.
