How It Happened
• The Spartans got on the board early as they struck for a goal in the 15^th minutes of play. York played a nice series of passes up the spine of the field. Carissa Baugus slipped a nifty pass to the top of the box where Meg Kalthof collected the pass and finished off the shot for the 1-0 lead.
• The Green and White added to the lead in the 32^nd minute. Senior Abby Brown drove the left endline and flicked a pass into the center of the box. Kalthof was in the right place as she buried a shot inside the crossbar for the 2-0 lead.
• Much of the first half was played in a steady rain but that didn't prevent the Spartans from outshooting Alvernia 11-2 overall and 6-2 in shots on goal. York had two corner kicks to one for the hosts.
• The Green and White added to the lead in the 53^rd minute as Kalthof was again in the middle of the scoring. Kalthof collected a throw in on the right wing. She made a nice side-step move and floated a pass into the center of the box. Lexi Mazzella headed home the pass for the 3-0 lead.
