  • Winthrop earned a free kick on its half of the field taken Janae Massey who sent one long ball toward the VMI penalty area as Emma Smith flicked it on

  • The Eagles scored two goals in the 48th minute to grab the three goal advantage
  • The first came off the foot of Chela Parris as Thomas collected a loose ball in the box after Bailey Fudala's shot was blocked and she slipped the ball to Parris in front of goal as she calmly placed  a shot into the lower right corner
  • Just seconds later Emma Smith stole the ball in the VMI half and caught the VMI keeper off her line as she lined  a shot from about 35 yards out over the head of Jillian Hall
  • The Keydets scored their lone goal in the 51st minute as Sedona Dancu beat a defender and dribbled into the box where she fired a shot past Izzy Giarrizzi at the near post from an angle
