How it Happened
Gordon nearly struck first in the contest as a corner kick in the first minute led to the Fighting Scots having a shot on goal right after, but
Allison Gough made the save to keep the contest scoreless early on. On the other side of the field shortly after
Kaylee Cormier sent a pass out ahead to
Kylie Rapoza, who flew past Gordon's defense and sent a cross into Gordon's box to
Elizabeth Tschudin. Tschudin then fired home a shot into the back of the net to give the Owls the 1-0 lead 3:22 into the contest.
Mikayla Ryan looked to add another goal for the Owls over the next 13 minutes with three shots, but the first two missed the target and the third hit off the post and stayed out of the goal. In the 24th minute the Fighting Scots answered right back as Liana Hanley drew even just over halfway through the opening half. The rest of the opening half the Owls looked to tack on their second goal of the game but Ava Cote denied the next two shots from the Owls on target, while Tschudin recorded two more shots, but they missed the goal. Gough bounced back on the last shot that she saw in the opening half as the game went into halftime at 1-1.
