GAME FACTS

THE ACTION

• Tofteroo put the Purple Knights on the board at 10:05 - her third goal in the last 10:37 of clock time - after taking a failed clear by the Raiders 30 yards from goal and slipping a shot inside the far post. DelVecchio's chip from the midfield line created the opportunity.
• Crowell added insurance in the 88th minute after winning a 50/50 ball from a Raider to break in alone on Barlow before hitting the right netting. DelVecchio assisted.
