Off of a Barry free kick,

Avery Raimondo took over. She passed the ball to her left to Churchill, who was about 10 feet outside of the box. She split two defenders and while sliding, got off a left-footed shot that went into the lower-right corner of the goal.
Hughes, in the 56
th minute, scored the insurance goal. A throw-in went to Churchill at the top of the box. She shuffled a short pass to her right to Hughes. She blasted a shot that was fumbled by the keeper and went in.
