The Lancers (1-4-2 overall) responded quickly however, as Julia Gill was able to get on the end of a long pass from Brooke Bonner to tie things up in the 15th minute. The Greyhounds stayed on the offensive, as they recorded four shots over the next five minutes, but the Lancers Mary Kate Levush kept the Greyhounds out of the net. That is until the 33rd minute, where a pair of great passes from
Payton Hurley and

To start of the second half, the Greyhounds stayed aggressive on the offensive end, as they recorded four shots within the first six minutes of the half, but could not find the back of the net. In the 66th minute, the Greyhounds would add another goal, after
Kelly Hutton crossed the ball into the box, where
Chloe Kuminkoski would lay it off for
