She pivoted around the defender and saw a charging Nowotny who took the touch pass and tucked the ball under the crossbar.

The Saints had a goal in the 79^th minute nullified for being offside.

Sarah-Lisa Dubel recorded her seventh shutout of the season, and third in a row. She saved two shots. Nicole Medeiros recorded five saves for the Mountain Lions.
