How it Happened 

• Throughout the opening 20 minutes of the game, both sides would go back and forth, playing throughout the middle third of the pitch.   

• Senior captain Yara Fawaz nearly gave the Skyhawks the first lead of the contest in the 22nd minute with a shot rolling just wide left of the LIU net.   

• Stonehill would light up the scoreboard five minutes later, however, after Caso capitalized on a perfect through ball from Fitzgerald in the 27th minute, giving the Skyhawks a 1-0 lead heading into the break.

  Coming out into the second half of action, Jackson would be put to work early in the net, making a jumping save just 30 seconds in and a diving grab off a free kick from just outside the 18-yard box in the 54th minute to keep the Sharks off the board.   

• However, LIU would tie the game up at one apiece in the 67th minute after Stein netted her first career goal.   

• The Sharks eventually gained their first lead of the contest in the 82nd minute when Proviano crossed a shot into the center of the box for Schubert, who would score what would prove to be the game-winning goal.
