How It Happened:
- Defense was the name of the game early on as Sweet Briar generated the only shot of the first quarter. Goalkeeper Allyson Shindler (Sr., Manchester, Pa. / Northeastern) made the kick save to keep the game scoreless through one.
- The second quarter saw a surge by the Phoenix as they fired up four shots, but the Vixens made three saves while the fourth went wide. Both teams went into halftime scoreless.
- Both teams were even with four shots each in the third, but neither team was able to break through as the netminders halted the only shot on target each way.
- The game look destined to go to extra time until Wilson found the back of the goal with under five minutes to go. Alexis Pflumm (Sr., Camden, Del. / Caesar Rodney) lined up a swing and put the ball in the direction of Brea Kelso (So., ) in front of the goal. Kelso was able to get a deflection and put it past the goalie to provide the difference.
