Midway through the quarter, Kayla Steiner scored her first goal of the season to put the Chargers up 2-1. Kendal Ream steamrolled to the goal, scoring her first goal of the season to give LBC a two-goal lead. Wilson halted the run scoring with just over three minutes remaining in the quarter. Ream capitalized on a free position shot opportunity, giving LBC a 4-2 lead heading into the second quarter.

Coaching Points

"Our defense had some great holds forcing several shotclock violations and our offense produced multiple goals. We need to work on transitions and turnovers moving forward. I am proud of our effort today!"
