HOW IT HAPPENED
- In their physical and rainy conference opener, the Wolves knocked down their first goal of the evening midway through the first half
- After a pass to Voss on the west side of the field, the forward dribbled the ball down, inches away from going out of bounds, before she sent a rocket to Hofer, who pelted the ball inside the net to jump to an early 1-0 advantage
- The remaining minutes of the first half were very neutral; both teams tallied two shots apiece in 45 minutes, while Audrey Burns recorded two of her four saves in the half
- It was in the second half when the Wolves would slap another on the scoreboard, this time off the foot of Albert
- Similar to their first goal, Voss took the ball near the line inside the 18-yard box before crossing it to her teammate, who would put the nail in the coffin for NSU's second goal of the match
- Though playing aggressively, the Huskies, led by Linsey Trapino, who tallied two of SCSU's shots and shots on goal, weren't able to put any points on the Wolves' defense, led by Lauren Carpenter and Burns inside the net
- Of the 13 total fouls in the battle, six were on the Wolves, while the Huskies earned one yellow card on the day
