SECOND HALF
Becker took the first lead of the game in the 72nd minute when Lindsey Keith (Sutton, Mass.) found the foot of Helena Ortiz (Memphis, Tenn.) who was on the right side of the box. Ortiz's shot lofted over Southern Vermont's keeper into the left side of the netting for the 1-0 lead. Southern Vermont knotted the score 10 minutes later on an unassisted goal from Gibney. Then, Becker committed a foul in the box with just under four minutes to go, and Gibney had a chance to put Southern Vermont up with a penalty kick. She did just that, and placed it perfectly in the lower left corner of the net for the 2-1 Mountaineers lead. The score stood at 2-1 for the remaining of regulation, and Southern Vermont prevailed.
