The majority of the action occurred in the first 45 minutes of play with the Huskies out shooting the Johnnies 10-2 in the half with a couple quality scoring chances.ย

Maree-Anne Van Doesburg had the best scoring chance of the night for the Huskies on a free kick attempt from just outside the box. The sophomore drilled her shot to the upper right corner of the goal but the goalie was able to make a leaping save with just over 11 minutes left in the first half.ย
From there, the game didn't contain many scoring chances with the Huskies not having a shot until under 10 minutes left in regulation. Olviia Beauvois created a nice give a go with just over five minutes left that led to her shot just wide of goal.
