The first goal of the night came in the ninth minute by Ellie Geoffroy, assisted by Chloe Wright. A shot off a corner kick was blocked, and Geoffroy scored her first goal of the season.
In the 13
th minute, Geoffroy added her second goal of night on a shot from the top of the box, with Emmy Hedden earning the assist. Just 42 seconds later, Reganne Morris took advantage of a long pass from Sonora De Fini and Ellie Geoffroy.
Hedden fired off a goal from 35 yards away in the 18
th minute to make it 4-0 Cowgirls. The Cowgirls scored four goals on their first six shots of the match.
The Lions scored their only goal of the match from the penalty spot in the 47
th minute.
Judith Nandwa (Mumias, Kenya) drew a foul and the penalty kick was converted by
Mya Mitchell (Dallas – Mesquite Horn), her fifth goal of the season.
