board first as Olivet's Lindsey Winters launched her shot
from 40 yard out that senior goalkeeper Jen Wall was unable to
knock away. Olivet controlled the ball in the opening period
outshoot the Thunder 9-to-3. Wall made six saved in the opening

score the equalizer in the 85th minute during a scrum in front of
the net as freshman Trisha King (Archbold, Ohio/Archbold)
scored for the second straight game. Trine's celebration
wouldn't last long as Winters would score the game-winner
less than two minutes later.
