Kennedy Meier won the opening draw, and the Trevs controlled the ball for the first three minutes of game, but couldn't get on the board.

That's when Kate Keller made a nice save and then took off out of the cage and passed to Meier, who connected with Grace Curry, who raced down the field on the fast break to goal, drawing Emma Curry's defender and making a back door feed to Emma for the goal at 4:55.
