Freshman Keller Torrey (Roswell, Ga., Centennial) added two late goals and Katie Wallis (Cypress, Texas, Cy-Creek) one as the Eagles led, 9-4, at halftime.

Elizabethtown was able to close the gap to 12-9 in the opening 10 minutes of the second half, but the Eagles netted four straight goals to assume a 16-9 lead with 16:52 remaining in the game. The teams traded goals until the last four minutes, when the Blue Jays scored the final four scores of the game to make the final 19-16.
