How It Happened
• The Spartans came out of the kick off rolling as they applied pressure to the Hood defense almost immediately. Carissa Baugus fired off York's first shot of the game and banged it off the crossbar. The Spartans continued to pepper the Blazer goal without anything to show for it.
• That changed in the 29^th minute as York drew a corner kick. Abby Brown fired the kick to the far back post where Meg Kalthof finished off the pass for the 1-0 lead. York added to the lead just over four minutes later as they drew another corner kick. This time Emma Woods served the ball into the box where Alyssa Hartman finished off the chance for the 2-0 Spartan lead.
• York out-shot the Blazers 12-1 in the first half including 4-0 in shots on goal. The Spartans had an 8-1 bulge in corner kicks.
• The Spartans kept rolling in the second half as they tallied a third goal in the 55^th minute of play. Brown fired an initial shot that was saved by Hood goalie Ashley Stine. Unfortunately for the Blazers, Kalthof was in the right spot for the rebound as she knocked home her second of the game for the three-goal bulge.
• Junior Jena Witters pushed the lead to 4-0 shortly after entering the game in the 66^th minute. She collected a loose ball and unleashed a shot from 10 yards beyond the top of the box. The shot bounced off the crossbar and went straight down into the goal for her first collegiate goal.
• The game's fifth goal came in the 82^nd minute as the Blazers were credited with an own goal on a failed clear of a Spartan attack. The Spartans finished the game with a 23-5 margin in total shots including 9-2 in shots on goal. The Green and White also held an 11-4 advantage in corner kicks.
