HOW IT HAPPENED
Earning a total of five corners in the first half, St. Joseph’s (11-2) capitalized on three opportunities to lead the Cavaliers by three goals. Virginia (10-2) responded in the second quarter as Emma Watchilla dribbled in the circle to score her fifth goal of the season.
After a quite third quarter, both teams increased the speed of play in the fourth quarter of play. Decreasing the deficit to one, Mia Abello scored her fourth goal of the season assisted by Emily Field and Meghan Hengerer.
