SCORING SUMMARY

(9' – Quinnipiac 1, Loyola 0): Senior Kylie Lance won a tackle at midfield, and freshman Olivia Scott won the second ball to give the possession back to Quinnipiac. Scott laid off a quick five-yard pass to freshman Markela Bejleri, who was positioned about 10 yards across midfield into the Bobcats' attacking half. Bejleri accelerated all the way to the top of the box, dribbling through three Loyola defenders. She shot a driven, bouncing ball to Loyola's keeper, Lily Andres. Andres mishandled the shot and allowed it to go into the left bottom corner.
(31' –Quinnipiac 1, Loyola 1):The Greyhounds tied the game after a scramble in the box halfway through the first half. Claire Beath scored for Loyola off a one-time shot that deflected off a Quinnipiac defender into the net.
(36' –Quinnipiac 2, Loyola 1):Off a Quinnipiac set piece taken by Dani Zerbo, Scott flicked a ball in the air with her head to sophomore Gretchen Kron on the left side of the penalty box. Kron slid the ball past Andres into the opposite corner of the goal to give the Bobcats the 2-1 lead.
(82' –Quinnipiac 3, Loyola 1):Sophomore Lauren Wendland carried the ball on the right flank to the edge of the box. She sent in a driven cross to Scott who was all alone on the six-yard box and tapped in the ball first time to take the score to 3-1.
