TURNING POINT
Flagler jumped on the visiting Lady Cougars in the 22nd minute by turning impressive defense into offense. Senior Avery Raimondo blocked a through ball to set up the Saints counterattack. Senior Brooke Rienecker fielded the Raimondo deflection at midfield before pushing it forward to Phoebe Davidson. The sophomore dribbled into the box and made one move to the left before striking a shot into the bottom right of the goal for the early lead.
 
In the 38th minute, the Saints capitalized on a Lady Cougars errant clear attempt. After a failed clear by the Columbus State goalkeeper, senior Haley Stafford settled before pressuring the left side of the box. Stafford dribbled nearly to the end line before sending the Saints second goal of the match into the top right corner and extend the lead to 2-0.
 
Columbus State would cut the deficit in half in the 74th minute, capitalizing on a corner kick. Brianna Nguyen sent the set piece into the middle of the box and found the head of Kendal Coreil. Just 11 minutes later, the Lady Cougars struck again as Gianna Musci connected with Coreil and she put away the equalizer.
