COACH'S QUOTE
"Today was a great battle of the top two teams in the league right now," said Head Coach Kristi Huizenga. "We had a little bit of a slow start but were able to put our foot on the gas after the early goal and thought the team did well to tie it up. We had to manage a ton of free kicks throughout the game, which plays to their strengths, and I thought we dealt well with those, and Kylee was strong on those as well. The goal was manufactured out of some great 1v1 ability from Maddie and an excellent strike from Della. Happy to see both of them connect for one."
HOW IT HAPPENED
- In the first minute of the match, a Binghamton attacker had a good look from inside the box. The shot hit the left post and was then cleared away from danger.

- In the 75th minute, Binghamton was awarded a free kick just outside the box. The shot hung low and to the left, but Kylee Carafoli made an incredible diving save to her right.
