How It Happened: The Chargers entered their game against the Seahawks looking to get their second conference win of the season. Both teams had no real opportunities coming from either side for a goal in the first half.

The half ended scoreless for both teams.

Despite the slow offensive first half, the Chargers came out firing. Only six minutes into the half, Isabella Eufemia was able to find offensive threat Kendal Ream for a shot placed in the left side of the goal, giving the Chargers an early 1-0 lead.

The Chargers would spend the rest of the second half defending the 1-0 lead, as the Seahawks tried to get a goal for themselves. Despite a couple chances, the Seahawks didn't really get any good looks to tie up the score. The Chargers were able to keep the lead they built at the start of the second as the Chargers dominated the defensive front for yet another shutout. 

The Chargers held off the Seahawks to secure the 1-0 conference win.
