The Asbury offense wasted no time putting an attack together and in the seventh minute they found their only goal of the night off the foot of Hannah Muncie, set up by teammate Caroline Absher. The goal got the Eagles on the board early with a 1-0 lead.

Absher got into the mix herself in the ninth minute leading an offensive attack, putting a SOG that was saved by the Anderson keeper, Adrienne Weyers, to keep the game at 1-0.Weyers had an impressive six sves on the night. 

For the next 10 minutes Asbury strung four shots, coming from Maggie Perry, Reese Bolton, Anna Sparks, and a SOG attempt by Hannah Muncie that couldn't find net. The match stayed at 1-0.

Anderson knotted things up in the 26th minute with a goal off the foot of Montez. Asbury performed well on defense the entire night and gave the Ravens trouble with only two shots on the game. 
 
Asbury had the only other shot recorded of the half in the 32nd minute from Caroline Absher. The rest of the half there wasn't much action and the game went into the half tied up at one apiece.

Things got interesting in the 54th minute when AU was rewarded with a penalty kick. Hannah Muncie took the kick for the Eagles and put a nice swing on the ball, but was miraculously saved by Weyers, and the game stayed at one-all.

Asbury put very high pressure on the Anderson defense in the next 20 minutes, but couldn't string together a goal. Deidra Long, Maci Muncie, Hannah Muncie, and Payton Ardery all put shots together during that span.

Anderson collected the eventual game winning goal in the 86th minute with Montez once again, making things 1-2, where the game ended at.
