At 12:06, Cassandra Trevino gathered the ball off a bobbled corner kick entry and guided in a shot to the left to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. Springfield would earn its 1-1 equalizer as Karly Suppicich (South Windsor, Conn.) dribbled up the right sideline and put a terrific lead pass to Kellie Smith (Marshfield, Mass.), which allowed for Smith to pumped in the score. It didn't take long for the Pride to regain the lead as Smith struck again 56 seconds later, at 14:49, off a feed from Jen Walker (Webster, Mass.), which gave Springfield the 2-1 lead.
