HOW IT HAPPENED

• 1ST PERIOD
  • The Trojans started hot, taking a 3-goal lead after 8 minutes of play.
  • Mia MacMillan got the ball behind the cage from Kate Halcro. MacMillan scanned her options and sent the ball into Amanda Arguello, who slotted the ball between the keeper's legs to get the first goal for the Cobras and make the score 1-3 with 7:43 seconds left to play in the first period.
  • The Trojans went on a 3-goal run after the Cobra's first goal of the game.
  • Mia MacMillan made a run around the cage trying to find an opening to score. MacMillan was then tripped up by two Trojan defenders and was given a free position shot.

• 2ND PERIOD
