HOW IT HAPPENED
- Less than a minute into the game, the Bulldogs got on the board from a free-position goal.
- But the Aggies, off of the passing of Alex Agnew, went on a 3-0 run over 70 seconds to quickly find themselves up 3-1.
- After Brislin tacked on her first, Butler looked to respond with a goal on the advantage, but Alex Agnew grabbed her fourth assist on a pass to Cami Johnson to put her team up 5-2 after the first 15.
- In the second, the offensive firepower of the Aggies continued, with goals from Gebhardt, Scott, and Tory Agnew putting their team up by as much as six.
- The Bulldogs looked to gather momentum with back-to-back goals, but Davis would go into halftime with a 10-4 lead.
- In the third quarter, Picardi generated all the offense for her team. Both clubs exchanged goals to go into the fourth with the Aggies still up six, 12-6.
- The Aggies kept the momentum in the fourth quarter, going on a 4-0 run to open the quarter that was capped off by the first goal by Audrey Carr to put the road team up 16-6.
- Butler found the back of the net for their seventh, but a score by Sophia Gorona wrapped up the scoring from both teams as Davis would wrap up their East Coast roadtrip with a 17-7 victory.
