HOW IT HAPPENED
The Lions were quickly on the board in the match. After a shot from Munguia was saved in the fourth minute the Greyhounds started to go the other way but a bad pass was stolen by the Lions. Givens flipped the ball ahead to Campuzano on a break away and she found the right side of the net to give the Lions the early 1-0 lead.
 
Campuzano was not finished as she scored another goal in the 10th minute.  She received a pass from Coronado and fired the ball left-footed over the goalkeeper's head from 25 yards out. The Lions led 2-0 after ten minutes of action.
 
The Lion defense was stingy throughout the first half, not letting the Greyhounds have many opportunities to get shots off. ENMU's first shot came in the 19th minute. The Greyhounds had a shot on goal off of a free kick in the 22nd minute but it was saved by Duty. Munguia had another shot on goal in the 27th minute but it was saved by ENMU to keep the score at 2-0.
 
The Greyhounds had another shot on goal late in the half but Duty again made a save to send the Lions into halftime leading 2-0.
 
The Lions added to their lead early in the second half. Off of a corner shot that was ricocheted away, Munguia got the ball and squeezed the ball between two defenders. The ball had some zip on it and just got past the ENMU goalkeeper. The Lions led 3-0 in the 49th minute.
 
Coronado had a shot on goal in the 63rd minute that was saved and a shot in the 64th minute that was blocked as the Lions continued to dominate the possession of the ball.
 
The Lions added a fourth goal in the 72nd minute. After a goal kick from the ENMU keeper, Givens charged the ball and headed it back toward the goal. The ENMU keeper misjudged the ball and it bounced in front of her and over her head into the goal. The Lions led 4-0 with 18 minutes to play, which ended up being the final score.
