by scoring on a pass from Beth Bystrom off a corner kick to the
middle of the box in the 75th minute of action.

control of the scoreless match. TSU out-shot the Lions 17-6
overall and 11-4 on-goal.

2-10 MIAA) with two shots. Mahn and Isabel Gaeta each
had a match-high three shots to lead the Bulldogs.
