In the second half, Kylie Casey (E. Longmeadow, Mass.) and Kayla LaRosa (Newington, Conn.) took shots for RWU but could not find the back of the net.

Morgan Strassburg (Longmeadow, Mass.) had two saves for the Hawks. Fleming had seven saves for the Leopards.
 
"Sometimes scoring too early in a game is a bad thing, especially if you don't follow it up with a second or third," said Head Coach Tim Moody. "Had we converted our chances and there were enough, the game was over at halftime. However, we gave up goals we shouldn't, especially if you want to win a game of soccer.
 
"We need to improve in several areas, but we are fun and exciting to watch, our games are never boring. We keep people in their seats and they usually stay for the whole game.
 
"We have lost games late and won games late, it has been a rollercoaster ride this season and I am sure there are more ups and downs to come. Hopefully more ups and highs for us.
 
"The afternoon didn't turn out the way we planned or the way we liked but we did learn some valuable lessons and we will better or it this season and looking forward to next year. Our depth chart is growing and we now have more options as we get closer to the playoffs this fall."
