Both teams had one corner kick in the opening 45 minutes of play.
• The Red Devils broke the scoreless tie in the 50
th minute as Ava Prisco scored off a pass from Joelle Ma. The Red Devils tacked on a penalty kick goal just over two minutes later as Ma converted the opportunity for the 2-0 lead.
• The Spartans battled to get back into the game but the offense was just unable to create any sustainable possession in Dickinson's defensive third.
• The Red Devils out shot the Spartans 14-7 in total shots but a mere 3-1 in shots on goal. Both teams had four corner kicks in the match.
