INSIDE THE GAME

• From the outset, Ohio Dominican controlled the play and were rewarded with the game's first goal. On a Panther free kick from midfield in the 18^th minute, the strike made its way over a mass of jumping bodies including Northwood goalkeeper Julia Luzod to make the score 1-0.
• The Timberwolves did not help themselves in the 26^th minute, taking a penalty inside the area. On the ensuing penalty kick, the Panthers converted to extend their lead to 2-0.
• Northwood was able to get on the board late in the first half, momentarily cutting the lead to one with three minutes remaining. On a loose ball in the box, Isabel Hess was able to corral the ball for a rebound shot. She buried her strike past the Ohio Dominican keeper for her first collegiate goal.
• Just under a minute later however, the Panthers erased any momentum the Timberwolves gained on Hess's goal. In similar fashion, they converted on a rebound to keep their two-goal lead heading into halftime.
• Ohio Dominican would add a fourth goal to officially put the game away with just under nine minutes to play, capitalizing on a Northwood giveaway.
• Despite the result, the Timberwolves would not go quietly and would capitalize on a Panther giveaway with just over two minutes left to play. Talene Nercesian picked up a loose ball from the right side and buried a shot far side to cut the lead to two.
