Ultimately, the Red Wolves jumped ahead in the 64th minute on a Summit Dann goal – assisted by Tindra Cederholm – to grab the lead once and for all.

The Troy offense finished the afternoon with seven shots, three on target. Une Hebnes Georgsen and Rubie Kelley each played a half in goal for the Trojans, with Georgsen starting the game and Kelley playing the second half.
