• Both teams forced the goalies to make several saves before
Steph Balerna finally broke through again in the 74th minute, scoring an unassisted goal for her first tally of the season. Just six minutes later, Want got a goal of her own off a
Jordan Weinberg (Jacksonville Beach, Fla./Winchester (Mass.)) pass to provide the Bullets the insurance goal.
