HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Notre Dame scored the lone goal of the first half in the eighth minute as the MEC's leading scorer, Miriam Szijarto, added another as she took the ball away in the midfield and attacked to the 18 yard box before firing a shot in the right side of the net.
  • The Falcons extended their lead to 2-0 in the 52nd minute as Szijarto headed a pass over to Louisa Follert from Anaya Edwards, Follert then beat the defenders into the box and placed the ball into the top right corner of the net.
  • West Liberty cut the deficit in half in the 70th minute off a corner kick set, when Jori Alexander headed the ball to Isabella Aperfine near the six yard box, who then headed the ball into the top right corner of the net.
  • A minute later in the 71st minute, NDC's Sophia Motolese pushed the lead back to two as she found the back of the net off a 40 yard free kick attempt, when the ball bounced down off the crossbar and into the net off the back of Zara Wickert's feet. Then in the 75th minute, Ashley Rainho fired a shot from the top of the 18 yard box through a pair of Hilltopper defenders and the ball was deflected off the hands of a diving Wickert into the top right corner of the net.
  • Notre Dame held the advantage in shots (19-11) and saves (5-2) while West Liberty held the edge in corner kicks (6-4). The teams were even with six shots-on-goal apiece.
