Exactly two minutes later, senior Kelsey Logan scored to make it 2-0 after sophomore Emma Poirier gave her a perfect pass off a corner kick. The Lady Hornets then hung on the rest of the way for the win.
"We had a rally good chat at halftime," said head coach TJ Freeman. "We needed to pick up some things and we were playing very slowly. We're also playing in a difficult position because we've so many of our starters due to injury, so we're adjusting and working through those bugs at halftime too."
