GAME HIGHLIGHTS

- After a handful of Warriors saves that kept the lead to one at halftime,
Bella Nelson broke away to push the lead to two only two minutes into the second half off of a pass from
Ava Priest.
- Less than two minutes later Priest would take a strike of her own, finding a shot past the keeper to push the lead to three for Mullen's second assist of the contest.

Erin Reynolds knocking in a shot after breaking away from a pact of players with the ball.
