• The Rams had a good opportunity to knot the game up in the 40th minute but Hawks goaltender Coco Marrelli made a sliding save, the rebound went to the foot of a Rams player and Marrelli made another diving save to keep the Rams off the board.  
• The Rams looked to have an equalizer in the 56th minute but the score was waved off as the FSU player was ruled offside.
