How It Happened

On offense, Mackenize Haladay and Amanda Throyk each got off shots, but could not get the Lions on the scoreboard sending the game scoreless into halftime.
In the second half, Rutgers-Newark took control of the game outshooting the Lions 10-3. The Scarlet Knights broke through when Tamia Howell scored in the 76th minute. Harrisburg attempted to level the game in the 80th minute when Rhyan Socash fired a shot on goal, but Rutgers Newark goal keeper Heidi Paulson made the saved. The Scarlet Kniights would hold on for the 1-0 victory.
