How It Happened

Bob Jones took the first shot as Mia Marks drove the ball toward the net, but it did not meet the net.  The Warriors attacked the net as Bryanna Pickens sent the ball toward the goal, but the Bruins got in the way of the attack to keep the Warriors off the board.  Bob Jones continued their attack, but Taylor Hanzel and the Warriors defense kept the Bruins from taking the lead.  Molly Wanning and Pickens attacked the net, but Susanna Hutson saved the ball from the back of the net.  Bob Jones continued to persist as Kayle Stevenson scored the first goal of the game for the Bruins.  They extended their lead minutes later as Gabriela Gonzalez scored to give Bob Jones a 2-0 goal advantage.  Shots by Ashley Allen and Brooke Pickens did not pay off for the Warriors as they still trailed at half.

Southern Wesleyan charged out of the gate as Wanning and Pickens drilled the ball toward the back of the net, however Hutson and the Bruins kept the Warriors from tying the game.  The Bruins countered, attempting to push their lead further, but Samantha Benner saved the ball from the back of the net to thwart their attempts.  Allen, Pickens and Hayleigh Von Ins each collected the ball and sent it to the net, but none were able to cut into the Bob Jones lead.  Korbyn Griffith took a shot on the goal, but Benner continued to save the ball from the net.  Despite late shots by Brooke Cash and Allen, the Warriors were unable to take the season opener as they fell to the Bruins 2-0.
