Freed-Hardeman had a strong offense start to the second half, with a corner kick setting up
Marina Sanchez for a shot. Georgetown (5-5-3, 1-3-0 MSC) ramped up their offense late in the half, eventually taking eight shots. Paz Mora Silva made three saves before the penalty kick at 77:49. Sanchez had another good look at 81:41, but the Tiger keeper kept the lead intact before the final whistle.
