How It Happened
- The teams began the contest neck-and-neck as they traded shots at the opposition's goal. The Cobras fired three attempts and the Wasps responded with a shot on goal of their own, but the score remained tied at 0-0. Both squads struggled to create chances through the second half of the opening stanza as the Cobras recorded the lone attempt over the final 28 minutes of gameplay. Junior goalkeeper Sophia Wagner (Front Royal, Va.) was strong in goal, making a pair to keep Coker off the scoreboard and send the game into the half still scoreless.
- CU forced Wagner into action twice in the opening five minutes of the second frame, but Wagner was up to the task as she made a pair of saves. E&H fought back with the following two shots from freshman forward Annie Becker (Dallas, Texas) and junior forward/midfielder Charlotte Stavis (N.C.) that Coker goalkeeper Rhyan Parkin stopped to keep things level. The Wasps had two final attempts in the last two minutes of the game, but Parkin once more was there and the teams had to settle for a share of the points.
