Kenzie Keller got her third goal of the season collecting a rebound in the middle of the box and burying it in the top of the net. Alicia Girbes-Pirece scored the final goal of the half muscling her way past defenders to pick up a rebound from a shot and slotting the ball past the outstretched Spalding keeper.
In the second half, Publicover continued her scoring streak with a long range cannon to cap off some creative combination play with the final assist coming from

Hayley Cooke to
Cristina Post who flew with power and speed into the box to connect with the well placed ball.
