How it Happened 
The Blazers got off to a hot start with a couple of shots by Rebecca Perez (Woodbridge, Va./Forest Park) and Adrianna Escobar (Germantown, Md./Seneca Valley) in the opening four minutes of the match. Although the Blazers' offense had the lead in shots this half, with six, the Mustangs would manage to score off just five shots. In the 36th minute off a Mustang corner kick, Marissa Struhar sent a shot past DeRenzis after corralling a pass from Kailyn Beall. With this goal, the Blazers trailed 1-0 heading into halftime.  
 

In the second half of play Hood looked to even out the games scoring, but unfortunately Stevenson had other plans. With seven minutes and some change shaved off the clock, the Mustangs were granted another corner, that they eventually capitalized off with a shot and score by Madison Rytina. Succeeding the Stevenson goal, the Blazers offense kept their aggression totaling 11 shots this half. Then with little time remaining in regulation, the Mustangs were granted a fast break opportunity ran by Madison Simard, who passed the ball to Keltie Goin for Stevenson's third goal. Although Hood ultimately led in shots and was able to create good offensive looks, the Mustangs were named victorious with a 3-0 lead.
