HOW IT HAPPENED
First Half:
In the early portion of the match, both teams were looking to possess the ball. Chowan received a free kick just outside the box. The attempt would be cleared out of the box and fell to the foot of Sabine Felix. Her attempt would sail just over the crossbar.
Erskine would take a 1-0 lead in the 17' of action as a through ball would allow the Fleet to find the lower left corner.
A couple minutes later, Stephanie Quintanilla recorded back-to-back shots but was turned away. Carolina Lucci posted a shot on frame in the 26' but was not dangerous enough to test the keeper.
In the 41', Erskine was granted a free kick from 25 yards out. The Fleet attacker would finesse the shot into the top right corner for a 2-0 advantage.
Second Half:
Chowan would go on the attack early in the half as Carolina Lucci recorded two shots on frame but was turned away.
Rhianna Ballard had a dangerous look at the cage in the 75' as her attempt forced a diving save by the Erskine keeper.
In the 84', a scramble in front of goal allowed Emily Trueman to clean up the mess and find the bottom left corner to cut the deficit to 2-1.
With 1:20 remaining in regulation, Kayla Gonzalez chips one towards the goal, the Erskine keeper comes off her line and misplays it allowing Carolina Lucci to corral the loose ball and find the back of the net for the equalizer.
Overtime:
The Flying Fleet looked to find the back of the net late in the first overtime period but the attempt was denied by Lynzie Hulle for the Hawks.
Carolina Lucci looked to end it in the 103' but was denied by the Fleet keeper.
