Rachel Brownell tallied two goals in the match, while Jo Porter netted one of her own. An own goal by Lincoln added to the Spartans totals on the scoreboard. In net, keepers Haley Liss and Catalena Robson played a half apiece and combined to stop six of eight shots faced.

How it Happened

• 4th Minute: Off of the restart, and a series of passes, Jo Porter would find Rachel Brownell who danced around several defenders and blasted a shot to the left post and past a diving Ariel Reyes to tie the game at 1-1.
• 19th Minute: A well-placed cross attempt by STAC's Jasmine Blue would go off of a defender's outstretched foot and into the back of the net for an own goal, giving the maroon and gold the 2-1 lead.
• 22nd Minute: St. Thomas Aquinas put themselves up 3-1 moments later, as an initial shot by Rachel Brownell would ricochet off of a defender and to the foot of Jo Porter. Porter then shook off a Lincoln player and ripped a shot past Reyes for the goal.
