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.

Goalkeepers Breanna Empey and Hillary Weixler split time in between the posts.  They combined for 8 saves against the 15 shots taken by the Rangers.  

The griffins took 8 shots and had 1 corner kick during the match.  Emma Heyn and Gabriella Sorensen each had 2 shots.  Aimee Kurfurst had an assit, helping Emma Heyn score the lone goal of the match for the Griffins.
