  • Following a cleared corner in the 21st minute, Rebecca Groseibl fired hard outside the box, getting blocked.  A second chance by Jasmine Hamid missed high.
  • After some back-and-forth in the midfield, Canoles looked for another long range attempt in minute 33, being saved.  Towson kept the pressure as Canoles stole the ball just past midfield and got the pass to Nia Christopher, who sprinted and got past the keeper in the 35th minute for the open net goal, sending Towson up 1-0.
  • Canoles nearly put a second goal in the net from a hard right-to-left shot, with a Mount defender near the post making the stop.  The Tigers picked up two corner kicks but did not score.  Towson took a 1-0 lead into halftime.
