How it Happened:

  • Midway through the first, Towson earned its first corner, Dakotah Trader passed to Lydia Bennett who fired a shot that was knocked aside by Pioneer goalie Ruby Butler. The game remained scoreless as the first quarter ended.
  • Sacred Heart again earned a corner in the first minute of the second quarter, the delivery was set for Blair Sparks who was denied by a diving Scheenstra.
  • With five minutes left in the first half, Olivia Miller carried the ball into the right side of the circle and passed across goal to Grace Conklin whose shot was batted down by Butler, but it fell back to Conklin who earned a penalty stroke for Towson. Lydia Bennett's shot went into the top left corner of the goal to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead.
  • With the final minute of the first half winding down, Sparks carried the ball into the right side of the Tiger circle and got around a defender, but her shot was smothered by Scheenstra and Towson held its one-goal lead into halftime. Brianna Cooper entered as Sacred Hart goalie for the second half.
  • Towson came out in the third quarter on the attack; a free hit pass went to Ella Kaufman just past midfield who ran around a Pioneer and played a ball into the middle of the circle and only the post denied Bailey Masten's deflection from becoming Towson's second score.
  • Towson quickly regained possession and earned a corner; Trader's delivery was set for Roos Wiarda whose ball towards goal was deflected by Rosemarie Staal and saved by Cooper but the ball fell to Kaufman who scored her first of the season to double Towson's lead.
  • With five minutes left in the quarter, a Pioneer corner was set for Sparks whose shot was knocked aside by Scheenstra and no Pioneer could get off a second shot as Towson's 2-0 lead held into the fourth quarter.
  • Less than two minutes into the fourth quarter, Celia Benson carried the ball through the midfield for Sacred Heart and passed into the circle to Jocelyn Webber whose first time shot was pushed away by a sweeping Scheenstra.

  • A few minutes later, a wayward pass gave Sacred Heart's Jenna Baxter the ball in the circle with only Scheenstra to beat.
