The first goal came 20 minutes into the first half. Summer Haarala had a powerful drive down the line, made a sharp turn shaking the defender off her. That gave her space space to make an excellent cross into the box. Brooke Zanella got a foot on the ball bouncing it closer to the net. Ava Lombardo crashed towards the net and flicked the ball over the goalie into the net to give the Flyers a 1-0 lead..
It ended up being the game winner.
But five minutes later, Zanella launched a long ball from the half field mark to the 30-yard line to Lombardo, who dodged her defender to get possession of the ball. She dribbled the ball to the net leaving her defender behind, took a low shot nutmegging the goalie for the goal.
