First five minutes and Naperville North with a corner kick opportunity, Leah Schumate with the boot, Reilly Riggs gets a piece of it but Evangeline Frantzen tracks it off the bounce for the save.
Midway through the first half, Leah Schumate with a free kick towards the middle, Maddie Schlecht with the header on the run is just wide to the left to keep the game scoreless.

Second Half
To the second half and BA on the attack again Abby Casmere with a good look that bounces over the outstretched arm of Amanda Johnson, but it stays wide to keep the lead at one.

One minute to play in the game, Leah Shumate with the corner, Reilly Riggs with the header, the ball then finds Riggs again, but her quick shot sails just over the crossbar and out of play. The hard fought contest ends in a 1-1 tie.
