The Rangers took control of the second hal as they out shot the Griffins 11 to 3 and had 7 corner kicks to the Griffin's 1.  Hillary Weixler started the 2nd half in goal for the Griffins and made 2 of her 6 saves in the first 2 minutes of the half.  The Griffins would concede to more goals in the 58th and 88th minute in their 3-1 defeat to the Rangers.
