Saturday by the score of 5-1.

42 shots on goal for the game. The Blazer defense did an excellent
job in the first half only allowing one goal on 21 shot attempts.
Lacey Kelley scored her first career goal and the lone goal for the
Blazers 49:06 into the game to knot the score at 1-1. The Sweet
Briar attack finally wore down the Blazers remarkable defense, as

marking the 10th-highest single game total by any Hood goalie.
