game came in the first half when Ana Lee crossed the ball toMaximo who was

waiting in the soup and scored.

post on a cross from Vanessa McCrory. This put the Lady Tide up 2-0 in the

first half. Gautier's only score came 10 minutes into the second half from about

20 yards out on a perfect corner shot that was unstoppable.

Coach Amanda Hughes with 17 saves during the game.
