With 11:33 to go, Lexie Marrocco found an open Allison Furstenburg cutting around the crease for the goal to give Richmond its second notch of the game.

The Spiders came out in the second half with more energy and were able to get the first draw control. Friend got the draw control, took it straight down towards the goal where she found Marrocco wide open in the eight-meter.
