  • In the 32nd minute Mossi Avila-Gutierrez slipped a ball behind the defense in the box as Laura Bennett ran on and she tried to beat the keeper but Santos was there for the save
  • In the 33rd minute Abbie McCrea set up Avila-Guitierrez in the box toward goal but just as she was about to take the shot a Bulldog defender tackled the ball away for a corner
  • The Bulldogs struck first in the 39th minute off a throw-in
  • Chloe Washington received the throw and turned toward the middle of the field as she passed the ball to Ariana Paez who played a one touch to Elisa Fuentes open in the box
  • Fuentes then played a ball on the ground across the mouth of goal to the back post where Washington ran on and slotted a shot into the lower right corner
  • In the 56th minute the Eagles drew a foul just outside the box, just off center to the right of the keeper
  • Jessica Gengler took the free kick and struck the ball well but it hit the wall and bounced back toward the center of the field
  • Adelle Pruitt settled the ball and fired a shot from about 30 yards out that was wide to the right
  • Eagles had another good chance in the 70th minute as Pruitt served a corner right in front of the spot as Cordella McIntosh jumped and just sent a head over the crossbar
  • A bad pass in the 71st minute was chased down by Washington as she dribbled into the box and placed a shot into the lower right corner for a two goal advantage
  • In the 82nd minute Balliet was sent free into space and as she approached the 18 she fired a shot that was hit well but right at Santos for the save
